"What makes Rennes School of Business special? Is it its faculty, teaching method and ambiance? Is it its professional teachers with enriched real-world exposure? Is it their customised focus and attention to the students? It makes them more than just teachers: they are actually mentors who guide and support students to achieve their career goals.
