A word from Denis Boissin, Director of Programs
Dear Parents,
When your children join Audencia, they are not just choosing a school: they are entering a vibrant, demanding, and caring community where they will learn to think differently, act meaningfully, and grow together.
For more than 125 years, Audencia has been built on strong convictions: boldness, openness, responsibility, and humanism. These values are not just words: they are lived out every day in projects, classes, community involvement, international exchanges, and the bonds that are forged between students, professors, and staff.
Our mission is clear: to train informed decision-makers who are capable of understanding the complex issues facing the world, engaging in dialogue with other disciplines, and making decisions that make sense—for themselves, for organizations, and for society.
We believe that managers must demonstrate cultural openness, intellectual curiosity, and civic engagement. That is why our programs are based on the humanities, culture, and social sciences and open up a wide range of hybrid skills, while being guided at all times by academic excellence.
Our campuses in Nantes and Paris, as well as in Brazil, China, Australia, and Spain, are designed to be places of life and inspiration, where students can experiment, collaborate, undertake new ventures, and flourish. Each path is unique, just like your children, and each experience is an opportunity to discover and surpass oneself.
Your children's academic and professional success is built together. Because you are the first partners in this adventure, we have designed this site for you. It allows you to follow the school's news, your children's projects, and the major trends that shape their learning environment.
We understand that your children are your most precious asset, and we thank you for the trust you place in us.
