Audencia Business School
Course Overview
Audencia Business School in Nantes is one of France's elite Grandes Écoles de commerce and one of fewer than 1% of business schools worldwide to hold the triple crown of AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA accreditation. Its English-taught MSc in Management (grande école master's) delivers a broad, rigorous management education — strategy, finance, marketing, operations, and leadership — with strong specialisation options (finance, supply chain, digital, sustainability) and a defining emphasis on responsible management, for which Audencia is internationally recognised. Extensive company projects, a mandatory internship, and a large corporate-partner network anchor the programme in practice.
Sri Lankan applicants choose Audencia for a globally ranked management degree (regularly in the Financial Times Masters in Management top tier), a genuinely international cohort, and France's strong graduate-employment outcomes — at fees well below comparable UK or US business master's. Graduates from Colombo, Sri Jayewardenepura, Moratuwa, SLIIT, NSBM, or CIMA/ACCA-track backgrounds are well matched. France's APS post-study residence permit and Audencia's employer network open doors across European and multinational business roles.
