The School’s new “Learning by Doing” model is structured around three areas:

Learning by Experimenting

Students are encouraged to join a Rennes SB association in which they can experiment by discovering a new skill or a new sector. By acting on behalf of an association of the School, students participate directly in the identity of the School and contribute to its influence.

Learning by Working

Students can valorise their student job by sharing their expertise from a particular field with their association.

Learning by Serving

Students can volunteer with a non-profit association located outside the school that is related to their association’s missions and objectives. In this way, students participate in regional communities and activities and act as ambassadors for the school.

• More information: How student associations are “Learning by Doing” at Rennes School of Business

“Associations within management schools such as Rennes School of Business are fundamental to ensuring that a student can flourish during their studies. These associations unite different groups of students who have a common interest and who work together to develop different projects whilst developing their own abilities.

Associations also bring students together from a social point of view, since these are the people with whom they will spend the majority of their time at the School. I think that associations make it possible to create real “families”. They also make it possible to mature and give more responsibility to people who need it. Future managers are given the opportunity to organise an event from start to finish. In particular, they learn to work in groups by promoting the importance of constant communication, both internally and externally.”

Pierre Le Maire, President of the Bureau des Elèves (BDE)
