At least 47 testimonies from the inside reported on stress, press, manipulation, burn-outs high sick-leaves and turn-over of employees, non-application of workers rights.[8][9][10][11]

History

Audencia was founded in 1900 as the École Supérieure de Commerce de Nantes.

Nantes University
.

In 2000, the school changed its name to Audencia Nantes School of Management.[12] The name "Audencia" is a blend of two words: audientia, which means "listening," and audacia or "boldness."

Since 2004, the school has been associated with the

working conditions and the environment
.

In 2015, the school was reaccredited by the three global accreditations (AMBA, EQUIS, AACSB) for the maximum period of five years.

In 2016, the school changed its name to Audencia Business School which includes the bachelor and masters programmes of former schools SciencesCom and the Ecole Atlantique de Commerce.

In 2017, the school adopted a new legal status and became a public-private partnership (École consulaire or EESC) largely financed by the public Chambers of Commerce in Nantes St-Nazaire.[1]

Grande école degrees

Audencia is an École consulaire (EESC), a private institution of

French public university system. Grandes écoles admit students through an extremely competitive process, and a significant proportion of their graduates occupy the highest levels of French society.[14][15][16] Similar to Ivy League schools in the United States, Russell Group in the UK, and C9 League in China, graduation from a grande école is considered the prerequisite credential for any top government, administrative and corporate position in France.[17][18]

The degrees are accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles

Bachelor's degrees, and the Master's and Doctorat degrees. The Bachelors and the Masters are organized in semesters: 6 for the Bachelors and 4 for the Masters.[21][22] Those levels of study include various "parcours" or paths based on UE (Unités d'enseignement or Modules), each worth a defined number of European credits (ECTS). A student accumulates those credits, which are generally transferable between paths. A Bachelors is awarded once 180 ECTS have been obtained (bac + 3); a Masters is awarded once 120 additional credits have been obtained (bac +5). The highly coveted PGE (Grand Ecole Program) ends with the degree of Master's in Management (MiM)[21][22][23]

Audencia Business School is also accredited by

AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) and Association of MBAs (AMBA).[24] It is among the top 1% business school in the world to have the triple crown (Triple accreditation
). Of the 13,670 schools offering business degree programs worldwide, only 89 have triple accreditation as of May 2018.

École Centrale de Nantes and the Nantes École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture (ensa Nantes) to promote engineering, management, architecture and creativity to enrich the teaching, research, corporate relations and international scope of all three schools.[1]
The school signed its first agreement with a non-French academic institution in 1972.[26] Today, Audencia has more than 230 international partners. While the earliest accords concerned North American business schools (especially those in the USA), the school now has partnerships throughout the world.[27]
