Do you know that franchising has been constantly
growing for many years? There are more than
2.5 million franchised units worldwide (European
Franchise Federation, 2010). For instance, in the
United States, there are more than 2,200 networks,
including 746,828 franchised units, responsible for
8,100,000 jobs and generating 769 billion dollars
in revenue (Pricewaterhouse Coopers, 2012). In
Europe as well, franchising is particularly developed
with about 400,000 franchised units. In France for
example, there are 1,569 franchisors and 62,041
franchised units with 49.24 billion euros of turnover
(French Franchise Federation, 2012). Also in France,
associated retailing is composed of 80 groups,
corresponding to 142 networks, with a total of 40,362
units and 131.4 billion euros of turnover (Fédération
des enseignes du Commerce Associé, 2012).
Do you know that networks offer a wide range of
diversified career opportunities, in particular in the
marketing, management and development areas?
Do you want to discover this sector and acquire the
necessary skills to get a job in franchising or retailing,
in France or in any country of the world, or to pursue
your studies with a Ph.D. ? Join us in the Master
Marketing - Franchising and Network Management!
The Master Marketing - Franchising and Network
Management, launched in September 2012 by the
Graduate School of Management - University of
Rennes 1, is specifically aimed at English-speaking
students with a bachelor’s degree in Marketing,
Management, Business Administration, Economics,

English with intensive French language courses.
Classes are taught by French and foreign researchers
along with practitioners who are all experts in the
field. They cover complementary approaches such
as Marketing, Management, Human Resources
Management, Strategy, Finance, Law, etc. The
Fédération Française de la Franchise and the
Fédération des enseignes du Commerce Associé are
partners of this Master. New in 2013: the « Chaire
Franchise et Commerce en Réseau » will be launched
this Spring 2013, by Dr. Rozenn Perrigot, with the
objective of reinforcing the relationships between
students, profesionnals of franchising and networks
(APEF Services, Groupe Beaumanoir, KPMG Franchise
et Réseaux, Mc Donald’s Rennes, O2 Home Services,
Subway) and researchers.
Tailor-made for future Managers and Executives
in international networks, in retail and service
industries, and more specifically in the areas of

Course modules
All the program modules are taught exclusively in
English. In order to help acquaint foreign students
to the French language and culture, 100 hours of
French language training will be offered throughout
the month of September before the beginning
of the Franchising and Network Management
program. Additionally, the students will attend
100 hours of French classes per semester, at a
pace of eight to ten hours per week.
All students will be expected to sit a French
proficiency test at the beginning of September. The
results of this test will enable the professors to place
students in classes corresponding to their level of
proficiency (beginner, intermediate or advanced).
Homogeneous groups will then be formed aiming at
preparing students for the internationally-recognized
French examination, the DELF, to be held at the end
of the academic year. The French courses are also
designed for a better integration in the student life
in IGR-IAE, and a better understanding of the French
culture and environment.
