The University Rennes 1’s School of Management (IGR-IAE Rennes) offers a full program for non-French speaking exchange students. Exchange students are selected by their home universities, who nominate them to the coordinator in charge of incoming students at IGR-IAE Rennes.
In this program, exchange students are provided a wide range of courses in various fields of management: finance, management control, human resources, and marketing. Moreover, the program particularly gives students more than knowledge about France and its language and culture. This is likewise an opportunity to meet new friends to enrich their personal development. Therefore, with the exchange program, students can take a good chance to develop a global perspective.
This program represents 30 credits per semester (European standards), with 4 credits per course.
Classes are taught at Bachelor 3 or at Master 1 level. In the description below, Bachelor 3 courses are marked as level 3 and Master 1 courses are marked as level 4.
In the online course selection form (to be received from the incoming student coordinator), level 3 or level 4 students will be open to you depending on your academic level.

Students will be able to acquire and to develop the following skills:
Each session will be structured in the following way:

Understanding the effect and purpose of common clauses in international business agreements and identifying the risks related thereto and getting an overview of the legal environment of international business.
Assuming that the students, with no legal background yet, might, as future managers, sales agents, purchasers, etc., get involved in contract negotiations, it appears worthful to asses some common pitfalls and associated risks during the contracting process and give an overview of the terms and conditions that should be at the top of any contract checklist.
The aim being to introduce students to the principles of contract drafting (theoretical overview and practical illustrations) and provide background information to increase understanding of the legal effect and purpose of some common contracting clauses.
Students will get an overview of the legal environment of international business and develop an understanding of common legal instruments and sources.
1. Negotiating international business agreements: avoiding pitfalls and understanding the effect and purpose of most common contracting clauses (3h)
2. Getting an overview of the legal environment of international business and developing an understanding of common legal instruments and sources (INCOTERMs, CISG, European directives and regulations, …) (3h)
