As an integral part of the teaching project and Audencia’s identity, globalisation is written in the school’s DNA.
Thanks to our academic partnerships and the international launch of our Executive MBA, our participants can enjoy the opportunity of discovering global and innovative ecosystems on 4 different continents.
Through one or two of these experiences per year, we guarantee immersion in the local culture, highlighting of entrepreneurship and a focus on digital transformation in the globalised era. In order to enhance their experience on site, Audencia proposes workshops and conferences focused on digital and pioneering issues.
Where? In countries with a major influence in digitisation and innovation.
For how long? For 5 days of total immersion without breaking your pace of work.
When? In November and March.
Taking part in a Learning Trip involves much more than discovering new economic horizons and socio-political stakes. First and foremost, it involves a veritable human experience for our participants who meet international professionals, visit multinational firms and come into contact with local customs that many discover for the very first time. This journey is the ideal moment for developing a genuine global MBA community that draws on the experience of each and everyone.
