About Rennes School of Business

At Rennes School of Business, we believe that education should no longer lock students into a framework but allow them to transcend it. Thinking beyond the frame means opening one’s mind toward other cultures. More than just introducing our students to the world, we bring it to them, we turn education into a true exchange.

Thinking beyond the frame means learning differently, striving differently, exploring new fields, looking for answers to tomorrow’s questions and designing a future that’s more inventive, more creative, and ultimately, more human. Now more than ever, the world belongs to the open-minded.

Founded in 1990, Rennes School of Business is an international management school which offers a multicultural learning experience. Our programmes: the Bachelor in Management, the Master in Management (MiM), the iMBA, PhD, as well as our 8 state-recognised Masters (including 6 masters in work-study format in Paris or Rennes) and 1 Master of Science are developed around 5 innovative research centres, 1 pedagogical chair (risk), 1 school of geopolitics, 1 research chair (Rennes Métropole) and the Centre for Unframed Thinking (CUT). The CUT is the world's first Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) based in a business school.
