Audencia

We really are here to help. We have a dedicated team who can provide advice on the following issues – as well as things that didn’t make the list!

• Student visas
• Housing contracts
• Opening a bank account
• Course information and grades
• French social security insurance
• Campus information
• CAF housing allowance
• Student associations
• Help from French students

We also have a student association for international students – the International Connection Team. This team is made up of enthusiastic French students who are here to give you insider tips on life in Nantes, activities and cultural events, and studying at Audencia. You’ll meet them during your orientation week at Audencia!

You have a lot of options, including rooms in student residencies; homestays with local families; and private apartments, studios and flats. We have a housing platform that will give you information on what’s available. You can access it easily from the student intranet once you’ve been accepted to your programme and completed registration.

Audencia's housing platform will enable you to:

• Find a rental close to campus
• Find your international or French roommate(s) and form shared rentals 
• Find a subletting 
• Find a homestay with a local family

Throughout the year, the library team receives, informs and trains students in documentary research methodology, on how to consult databases, format bibliographical references and provides students with information on such issues as plagiarism.

If you are a non-European student and will be studying at Audencia, we recommend you purchase international travel insurance, liability insurance and international health insurance that is valid for the entire duration of your stay in France.Health insurance in France may be very different from the insurance you have at home.
