Audencia Business School is a top business school in France and in Europe, accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA), European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The school enrolls 4500 students from almost 90 countries on bachelors, international masters, specialised masters, MBAs, doctorates and executive education courses.
Audencia is consistently ranked in the top six business schools in France. Its MSc in management-engineering was rated 24nd in the World by the Financial Times (September 2016). Audencia full-time MBA is classed in the top 100 in the world by the Economist (October 2016).
Founded in 1900 as the Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Nantes, until 1970 the school occupied the building which is today home to the city’s natural history museum. It then moved into a purpose-built campus of 23,000 m² to the north of the city centre opposite Nantes University.
In 2000, the school changed its name to Audencia Nantes School of Management. The name "Audencia" is a blend of two words: audientia, which means "listening," and audacia or "boldness."
Since 2004, the school has been associated with the Global Compact, a United Nations initiative that brings together firms, the business world and the civil society united on ten universal principles relative to human rights, working conditions and the environment.
