INSA Rennes
Created in 1966, INSA Rennes is a member of the INSA Group, the leading French network of state graduate and post graduate engineering schools, composed of 7 schools in France and 6 partner schools.
Research and innovation are the key elements of INSA, which benefits from the expertise of its 212 professors and lecturers. Accredited by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (2021-2026) and EUR-ACE accredited, the INSA Rennes offers a 5 year post-baccalaureate engineering course, accessible to all levels, from bac to bac+4.
INSA Rennes is a prestigious “Grande École”, a graduate and post graduate school. INSA Rennes delivers high level scientific training conforming to the highest official European standards:
- Masters of engineering (the French “diplôme d’ingénieur”): we offer a five-year-integrated MEngSc. Program.;
- Masters of science (10 Masters in "Sciences, Technologies and Health");
- PhD programs in 3 doctorate schools.
Recognized for the excellence of their scientific training, French state “Grandes Écoles d’ingénieurs” have very selective recruitment, based on the academic performance of the students. Only the best students are accepted by INSA Rennes (1 in 7 candidates is admitted into the first year), on the basis of their academic file and of an interview.
Engineer training, being both scientific and technical, favors teamwork and a high employment rate through practical sessions, industrial projects and internships in companies, in France and abroad (11 months possible over the 5 years of study).
INSA Rennes offers also the opportunity to follow a Master of science and a Doctorate in one of 6 laboratories.
Some figures in 2023-2024:
> 1 799 engineering students
> 16% international students
> 145 PhD students
> 112 top-level sports students
> 1 a green and sustainable campus with botanical species
