Rennes School of Business’ MSc in International Finance accredited by EFMD for a period of 5 years
The EFMD Accredited label is an EFMD (EFMD Programme Accreditation System) label launched in August 2019, which allows an EQUIS-accredited institution to focus on one of its programmes that it deems particularly strategic. Rennes SB has chosen to have its flagship programme in Finance, the MSc in International Finance, assessed.
French and international recognition
The MSc in International Finance at Rennes School of Business, created in 2007, enjoys international recognition thanks to its inclusion in the Financial Times rankings since 2016. The programme is ranked an excellent 35th in the world.
It has been redesigned as part of the reform of the Master’s programme initiated by Rennes SB in 2021, and steered by Béatrice Rabet (Director of Programmes), Elodie Huré (Associate Dean for Accreditation and Continuous Improvement), and Asha Moore-Mangin (Director of the Master’s programme).
The MSc in International Finance was awarded Master’s status by the CEFDG in September 2022.
This Master’s degree will be available in initial and sandwich courses on the Rennes campus and in sandwich courses only on the Paris campus, at the start of the academic year in September 2024.
“I am very proud to have received EFMD accreditation for our MSc in International Finance programme at Rennes School of Business for a period of 5 years. This award demonstrates that this Masters programme complies with the highest international quality standards,” said Dr Taoufik Bouraoui, Director of the MSc IF.
