Presentation

philipperive

Directly reflecting the mission of ESC Rennes School of Business, the Grande Ecole Programme conveys the school’s vision of how management studies should be structured.

Evolving in a constantly changing world with no boundaries, a company derives the stability required for growth from those responsible for its daily management. Good management of this kind involves:

100% commitment to a vision that charts new waters,

compliance with a code of business ethics to ensure a responsible development approach,

efficiency and effectiveness, day in day out, and an ability to lead multicultural teams,

innovation and the creation of value for the company and all its stakeholders.

This is our vision of tomorrow’s manager, for whom we have coined a specific name: MANAGER 3.0

As part of our uniquely international campus, you will gradually construct your training course as you study, honing its relevance in terms of your own personal development objectives. You will be in a position to consolidate what you learn by putting your knowledge to practical use within our 22 associations and our partner businesses. You will gain fresh perspectives by studying in our partner universities throughout all five continents. You will play a key role in managing your own learning, whilst guided and supported by our teaching staff and educational team.

You will learn to learn how best to listen, engage, manage and innovate. You will gradually become a MANAGER 3.0.

We can offer you a mutually trusting and exacting experience. Together we can ensure that you achieve your goal.

Mission

ESC Rennes School of Business is an international management Grande Ecole that belongs to the network of France’s highest ranking educational institutions. This attests to the importance that we attach to the three key dimensions of a management business school:

The quality of our teaching staff,

extensively involved both in the teaching side and in the creation of new knowledge through research activities, ensures that our courses are continually updated with the latest discoveries from the world of management science.

A profoundly international perspective

80% of our full-time teaching staff and one third of our students come from abroad, making campus life a veritable and somewhat unique cultural beehive. ESC Rennes School of Business is a French Grande Ecole whose culture and teaching, staff and students, courses and qualifications and daily life and ambitions exude a distinctly international vibe.

A strong relationship with business

Businesses do much more than simply provide a natural career avenue for graduates (over 50% of students are recruited before the end of their studies). They are also educational partners who provide them with support right from the start of their studies until the day they graduate.

We are convinced that tomorrow’s world will prove even more global than today’s, and that company managers will be unable to operate on anything other than a world scale. Hence our view that the only way to teach management is by incorporating studies of cultural diversity on both world and regional levels. The Grande Ecole Programme offers students the opportunity to experience three different continents in order to learn about their respective managerial practices. The only one of its kind in Europe, this “3 zone” programme is just one of the differentiating aspects of the Manager 3.0 course. ESC Rennes School of Business is building a future that draws on the benefits of a longstanding international outlook, whilst continuing to carve out its own unique global perspective.

Studying with us means being part of an establishment that’s on the move and on the up.

Manager 3.0 has managerial skills enabling him within the context of a changing globalised economy to effectively and efficiently lead activities within the business with the objective of creating sustainable value for all the stakeholders.

Educational approach

Your course is based on an educational concept with a difference, inspired by observations and analyses of best practices in the teaching of advanced level management studies.

It focuses on four different study areas that both complement each other and interact in order to create learning synergies, helping you to develop your career plans.

The logic of this approach lies in your ability to give meaning to your own learning, in order to thoroughly prepare your entry into the world of work.

1 – Understanding of business management concepts, methods and tools

The area of general study lays the groundwork for your professional aspirations.

2 – The international dimension

You will be studying in a multicultural environment and will benefit from at least one educational period spent abroad, designed to broaden your understanding of different management practices.

3 – Practical application of knowledge

This is your opportunity to road test your knowledge and ambitions within the school’s associations and on business work placements, some of which will be spent abroad.

4 – Development of personal potential

Through lectures and workshops on human relations management, you will develop your personal potential as well as your group leadership ability in order to manage and lead teams towards innovation and entrepreneurship.
