Global DBA (Rennes - Online)

Applications for the April 2027 Global DBA intake are now open.

While you are welcome to create your application and begin preparing your documents at any time, we strongly recommend starting the application process from September 2026 onwards.

During July and August, Rennes School of Business operates on a reduced schedule due to the summer holiday period. As a result, response times may be longer than usual. We are committed to providing each applicant with a high-quality admissions experience and personalized support, which is why September is the ideal time to begin your application.

The application portal is already open so that you can familiarize yourself with the required documents and application process. Please note, however, that applications submitted during the summer period will be reviewed and processed from September 2026.
