Cost of studies

INSA Rennes is a public engineering school. As such, most of the cost of tuition is funded by the French government. In public institutions of higher education in France, the government bears the bulk of the cost of education: an average of €10,000 per student per year. Matriculation fees, accommodation and meal costs, however, must be borne by the student. Note that scholarships and housing allowances are available to those who qualify.

One year of study at INSA Rennes costs approximately €6200, accommodation and meals included but tuition fees excluded. This price varies according to the accommodation chosen.
