Disability
The psychologist at INSA Rennes is also responsible for receiving and assisting students with a disability. These students can benefit from educationnal adjustments, adaptation of premises and other specific arrangements.
Health insurance & French social security
EU students must hold the European health insurance card (EHIC) to access to care in France. This card can be issued by your national health insurance provider.
Registration for French social security is free of charge and mandatory for non EU students. It means your health costs will be partly covered throughout the duration of your studies. Registration must be done upon arrival after enrolment in INSA Rennes. A complementary health insurance ("mutuelle" in French) is also highly recommended. Liability insurance is mandatory for registration at INSA Rennes.
