Studying or working abroad is more than just an adventure; it's a valuable opportunity for personal and professional growth. For our students, these experiences are real stepping stones. These experiences are not only culturally enriching, but they also make a big difference on a CV by demonstrating qualities that recruiters consider essential, such as adaptability, perseverance, and open-mindedness.
With over 280 academic partnerships worldwide, we give our students the opportunity to study abroad for a semester or earn dual degrees at renowned universities in North America, South America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia. This global network allows students to immerse themselves in various environments and develop a global perspective on business, which is an invaluable asset in an increasingly interconnected world.
Our students live at the pace of their host campus and are fully integrated into the student and educational community. They select courses from a broad catalog and adhere to the academic regulations of the host university. Grades and credits earned are included in the Audencia curriculum.
(3rd semester of your curriculum)
If you choose the academic semester abroad option, you will spend your semester at a partner university within Audencia's international network. Universities are selected based on their programs and academic calendars in accordance with those of Audencia Bachelor.

The 2nd year operational internship (3 to 5 months) and the 3rd year end-of-studies internship (4 to 6 months) can also be carried out in any country chosen by the student.
Moreover, many students choose to embark on solidarity missions in a foreign country alone or in groups each summer.
Furthermore, by choosing to integrate the semester at a partner university in the 3rd year, the student will have the opportunity to complete the entire end-of-studies internship abroad.
At the end of the 3-year Audencia Bachelor In Management program, it's a cumulative year of corporate experience.
The gap year is a great opportunity for any student wishing to put even more ambition and passion into their projects.
Thanks to this optional extra-curricular year, offered between the 2nd and 3rd year, students can take part in an internship abroad or in France, carry out a personal project (Solidarity, Sustainable Development, Entrepreneurship...) or choose to study at a university abroad.
Drawing on their deepest motivations to realize their projects, deploying their sense of adaptability and tenacity, gaining in autonomy and maturity, creating added value for themselves in the eyes of recruiters... these are the objectives of this gap year.
Additional costs (transportation, food, accommodation, books, incidentals, and medical/repatriation insurance) are the responsibility of the families.
For certain study destinations, tuition fees at host universities may be the responsibility of the student.
