Teaching methods

Learning differently

Teaching draws on business environments and respects clear objectives. Innovative teaching methods help you to work and produce knowledge through group projects and by exchanging ideas. Case studies and business simulation games are widely used.
On average, 3 hours of preparation time is necessary for each class, thus creating an in-class environment where discussion and personal points of view aid knowledge acquisition.

A learning curve for participants

"The highlight of my experience at Audencia was being able to ‘travel’ around the world by analysing different countries and businesses. This helped me to understand cultural differences while doing business."
Carlo, Peru, MBA alumnus

An enriching group dynamic

"The learning environment is extremely positive for consolidating existing skills and new knowledge. Participants and their diverse profiles and experiences create an enriching and fulfilling group dynamic. Audencia’s faculty contribute to building this environment which allows participants to confront and identify new skills for new opportunities."
Jean-Michel Moutot, French, MBA Professor of Marketing

What faculty say

 The teaching approach in the MBA is to take maximum advantage of the students’ very rich and diverse personal and professional backgrounds. Based on their own professional experiences, they compare and share their reactions to the new ideas and how they could be of practical benefit.
Stephen Gates, American, MBA Professor of Business Planning

An international MBA provides students with distinct, tangible advantages in today's global, dynamic market place. The learning arena at Audencia allows each student an opportunity to acquire the skills that will lead to these advantages. For example, pooling students from different cultures, countries and work backgrounds creates a diverse cohort enabling students to learn from one another throughout their studies
