The Audencia Nantes School of Management in France recently launched a Doctorate of Business Administration program on enterprises' social responsibility with Tsinghua University's School of Continuing Education.

The three-year program, which intends to recruit Chinese entrepreneurs, will be taught in English by teachers from both universities, and will include academic seminars and online study apart from classroom teaching.

Both sides also agreed to offer a half-year program, which aims to help those who plan to study at Audencia prepare to adapt to life and study at the French business school.

Founded in 1900, Audencia now offers 14 programs on management to 3,000-plus students from more than 60 countries around the world.
