A new academic year that breaks the mould at Rennes School of Business

Learn, Share, Innovate

The first intake of the Bachelor in International Affairs and Relations, a new three-year post-baccalaureate programme focused on major geopolitical issues and dual competence in management and international relations. A demanding and practical course, firmly oriented towards action.

Implementation of Flexway: a new support system for talents, whether they are entrepreneurs, activists, artists, or elected officials… to best reconcile their projects and studies.

It also marks the return of reverse mentoring, where students share their expertise (particularly in AI) with experienced professionals. A dynamic of mutual learning that breaks conventions, already successfully tested with partners such as Danone, SNCF, and La Poste.

A Student Voice that Matters

The Junior Comex, a genuine link between students and the management team, is being renewed this year. This innovative system allows student-executive committee member pairs to co-create the major strategic directions of the school. Thanks to better alignment with student representative bodies and tools like PumApp, the goal is clear: to strengthen everyone’s participation and foster student democracy. An initiative praised both for its strategic impact and collective energy.

New Formats, New Spaces

In terms of formats, the school is launching the podcast “C’est quoi ton taf ?” (What’s your job?), a series of portraits on lesser-known professions, hosted by a student and broadcast on major platforms. Useful, lively, and engaging content to broaden students’ professional perspectives.

The Rennes and Paris campuses are also undergoing transformation: optimised classrooms, a revamped and rethought Learning Center, the creation of a modern faculty space, renovated reception areas… A fresh momentum to improve living, learning, and collaboration experiences.

A Community Stronger Than Ever

Finally, as part of a completely revamped back-to-school format, the “Houses“, inspired by the Anglo-Saxon model, will be unveiled. Spread across four houses from the start of the academic year, students and staff will enjoy a collective experience that fosters a sense of belonging, mutual support and a spirit of challenge.
