MSc in Financial Analysis and Investment Management - Batch of 2027
4.1
Clean city, welcoming locals and better life
Tips: I think they should focus more on learning French before joining the college since local only communicate in French and you won't be able to do anything. Also, they should start maintaining their communication skills to build their network so it can help them later in finding internship.
Likes (Safety): It's a very safe space, but try to avoid some shady places at night like Malkoff or Chenes des Anglais. Also, if you are a girl, try not to travel alone at night. My friends have some bad experience once or twice; some drunk guy started following them and started asking for phones no.
Dislikes (Part time work): Almost everyone speaks French, and as an international student, opportunities can feel limited since the language barrier makes it harder to find jobs and integrate into the local work environment. There are a lot of Indian restaurants, but they want you to work without contact.

Master in Management (Grande Ecole programme) - Batch of 2026
5.0
Our courses are real-life case studies, and exams are based on applying this knowledge.
Tips: Before coming to France, students need to be both mentally and financially ready. Work-life balance won't be what they think, since part-time and full-time jobs are hard to find. They should learn a little bit of the language before moving, but there are boundless opportunities across Europe.
Likes (Safety): We have plenty of student associations and student life relation managers to guide us through every process. Students can enroll themselves into various kinds of associations as a way of learning the culture and community, but mainly to get connections and contacts from native people.
Dislikes (Value for money): Everyone who teaches at Audencia Business School is a current working professional who has direct industry connections and knowledge. Our courses are real-life case studies, and exams are based on applying this knowledge. The whole process requires a lot of self-preparation and understanding of current world scenarios.

Master in Management (Grande Ecole programme) - Batch of 2026
3.5
Scholarships from the French government aren't really for students in business school.
Tips: Don't expect things to be handed to you, you will have to work extremely hard for them. Scholarships are close to none. You should look for scholarships from the Indian government or other sources in India. Scholarships from the French government aren't really for students in business school. Better not to get your hopes up. The course and faculty are value for money, would still recommend any other university if you can afford to pay more tuition.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is located a little bit outside the city. Depending on which course you choose, you will be assigned to a campus. Most courses are on the main campus in Nantes. The campus is well connected to public transportation through tram line 2, bus line C20, and other buses from the suburbs. Public transportation is affordable. Public transportation is efficient and well-connected. However, there are occasional tram breakdowns.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are close to no availabilities of work on campus. Off-campus work is limited to your French-speaking abilities. Part-time work and being a full-time student are extremely difficult, but not impossible. Good time management is required. You should also factor into your budget and time university events and socialising. These are important for making connections and having a social life.

Learn at least B2 level French before you arrive.
Tips: For those who are not familiar with French culture, it will be difficult, but for those who have been exposed to French culture and language, it will be simple, and there are plenty of international students to enjoy. I had no scholarship money. Sometimes the buses are less in the afternoon on the weekend, and other than that, Nantes transport is really good. The country is average, the course structure is easy, and the university is not helpful with jobs. Other than the experience, nothing is worth it.
Dislikes (Internships): Finding an internship without knowing French is extremely difficult, and the market is very competitive. For those who studied engineering for their master's degree, finding an internship can be simple, but for those who studied management, it can be quite challenging unless you have eight or more years of experience.

The college is really good in environment and studies.
Tips: Before joining this university students should be aware of the course and how it works. You should contact seniors and get clarity of the course and subjects and electives based on the background of their studies. The course here is different so they need to know the course structure before coming to college.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members are very good at teaching and are very supportive and encouraging. The level of teaching is very good, and the college is providing more than I expected.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time here is difficult to get and also we must speak the local language. We have a busy schedule that is really hectic and time management is really difficult as we need to manage the studies and part-time together when we have more work to do.

Good university and friendly.
Tips: Familiar with the relevant coursework and the subjects that are presented in it. The curriculum here is different from what you may have experienced at other colleges. However the professors are excellent and teach in such a way that is easy for students to understand. You will find that everything here is new but it is worth the adjustment. I am satisfied so far.
