a 3-year student of the programme International Business and Economics
I have been thinking about studying for exchange since secondary school. And finally, at the university I had the opportunity. An important role was played by the possibility of obtaining a grant for students of the programme “International Economics and Business”. My choice fell on the Rennes School of Business, in which I studied during the Spring semester of 2019.
Rennes School of Business is one of the leading business schools in France, which also has the famous “triple crown of accreditation”. The process of education itself is different from classical university education, since the knowledge gained at this business school was more practical. We also did not divide into lectures and practices. In pairs, teachers explained the theory, and then initiated a discussion, so the classes were more dynamic. The academic staff was very pleased: these are people with a wealth of life experience, from countries from around the world. For many of them, teaching is additional: they combine their core business, for example, doing business with teaching. From this, classes became more interesting and varied. Rennes School of Business is very internationalized. So, in my group there were students from France, America, Germany, Belgium, Finland, the Netherlands, Mexico and many other countries. It was very informative to discover other cultures and also talk about ours.
I did not regret choosing a city for the semester abroad. In my opinion, Rennes is an ideal city for this purpose! The city itself is small, but clean, comfortable, and most importantly - safe. It is located 2 hours by train from Paris and an hour by bus to the beautiful city of Nantes. However, one must be prepared for the fact that France is a rather expensive country.
In general, the exchange semester is, of course, a unique experience, because, in addition to acquiring new knowledge, the language level is improved, teamwork skills are developed, and a wealth of life experience is acquired.
