Rennes School of Business is proud to announce a new strategic academic partnership with the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), a global professional association dedicated to advancing management accounting and finance.
Signed on 1 September 2026, this partnership creates a valuable new opportunity specifically for students enrolled in RSB’s MSc in International Accounting, Management Control and Auditing. By connecting academic learning with an internationally recognised professional certification, the initiative will help students strengthen their expertise, broaden their professional networks, and stand out in an increasingly competitive global employment market.
Under the agreement, IMA will offer up to 10 scholarships per academic year to students in the MSc in International Accounting, Management Control and Auditing.
Representing a value of more than $1,000 per recipient, the scholarship gives selected students an opportunity to work toward a respected professional credential alongside their Master’s degree.
The CMA certification demonstrates expertise in areas such as financial planning, performance management, data analysis, strategic decision-making, and professional ethics. For students preparing for an international career, it provides a strong way to demonstrate practical capabilities and professional commitment to prospective employers.
At RSB, learning goes beyond acquiring academic knowledge. The School’s approach combines innovative teaching, practical application, and exposure to the realities of international business.
The partnership with IMA supports this ambition by giving students an additional pathway through which to apply what they learn in the classroom to real professional challenges. Preparing for the CMA certification can help students further develop their ability to:
These capabilities complement the curriculum of the MSc in International Accounting, Management Control and Auditing and help students build distinctive, career-ready profiles.
Combining an RSB Master’s degree with progress toward the CMA designation can increase students’ visibility among international employers and demonstrate their readiness to contribute from the beginning of their careers.
The skills developed through the programme and certification are relevant to roles in management accounting, auditing, financial planning and analysis, management control, corporate finance, consulting, and strategic management.
IMA membership also connects scholarship recipients with an international community of accounting and finance professionals, creating further opportunities for professional development, knowledge sharing, and networking.
RSB and IMA share a commitment to rigorous education, ethical professional practice, and the development of future-ready finance and accounting professionals.
In addition to the scholarship programme, the partnership will support joint events for MSc students, RSB alumni, and IMA members. It will also encourage greater interaction between the School’s academic community and the international finance profession.
Through this collaboration, RSB is enriching the experience offered by its MSc in International Accounting, Management Control and Auditing and giving students another meaningful way to prepare for successful international careers.
