Our campuses
Our campuses in Rennes and Paris welcome students in environments conducive to success.
RSB welcomes its students to two campuses, in Rennes and Paris. Upon arrival, students are immersed in an intercultural environment, with more than 100 nationalities represented on the Rennes campus, promoting the development of true cultural intelligence.
All programmes, from Bachelor’s to Master’s of Science degrees, are taught in English, either entirely or progressively. This linguistic immersion promotes fluency in international exchanges and prepares students for the standards of global organisations. At the same time, students can choose from a range of foreign languages, with options such as Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and even French sign language, depending on their programme.
Nearly 90% of permanent professors are of foreign origin. They bring a diversity of teaching approaches and managerial visions. This richness is reflected in the teaching, projects, practical cases and intellectual openness of the students.
Whether they come for a full programme or an exchange, Rennes School of Business welcomes students from around the world every year, creating a dynamic intercultural learning environment. They can take courses with transferable credits, enrol in a degree programme, or apply for a double degree depending on the agreements with their home university.

Certified mobility programmes
Some courses include long-term mobility (6 to 12 months) at accredited international institutions. These stays can lead to a certificate or an additional local degree, providing specialisation or recognition abroad.
