Bachelor Degrees

Audencia offers two bachelor degrees: the Bachelor in Management and the Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA).

Bachelor In Management

The Bachelor in Management lasts one year - to be eligible, you must have completed two years of post-secondary education. During this course, you will focus on the practicalities of business management, with advanced coursework and practical experience forming the majority of the year. If you have already completed three years of post-secondary education, instead consider the BBA programme.

Bachelor in Business Administration

Much like the Bachelor in Management, the BBA lasts one year, though requires three years of post-secondary education. You can consider the BBA as a stepping stone between your post-secondary education and your professional career or a master’s degree, as during this course you will focus on operational training, expanding your international business acumen and experience.

Masters Degrees & MBAs

Audencia’s master degrees and MBAs are split between those for English speakers and French speakers.
