About Rennes School of Business

Rennes School of Business (RSB) is a renowned, triple Accredited business school in the sunny town of Rennes, France, less than a two-hour train ride from Paris. The university is near many historic medieval and classical French heritage sites, while the area is also considered one of France's innovation leaders in technology. It is triple accredited with AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA.

Program Options

Graduates of this Dual Degree stream will receive an Honours Bachelor of Commerce (H.B.Comm) from Lakehead University in their major of choice, as well as a Bachelor in Management (BiM) from Rennes School of Business in one of the following majors:

Marketing
Finance and Banking
Supply Chain

All courses taken at RSB will be delivered in English. Please note that choosing particular combinations of majors/specializations between Lakehead and RSB may result in additional course requirements in order to achieve the requirements of both programs. There is at least one specialization at RSB that can be taken without requiring any additional courses at Lakehead in each major, with the exception of Accounting students.

Typical Program Schedule

Accounting majors require 5 years of study.

Internship

The internship is a requirement of the BiM degree at RSB. Students must complete an eight-week internship requiring approval by RSB. Students may apply to a number of opportunities globally via database or submit their own opportunity for assessment by RSB. The internship can take form as a paid employment opportunity in your field of specialization and requires your employer to assure that specific duties are being undertaken.

Curriculum
