Institut national des sciences appliquées de Rennes

The Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Rennes (French pronunciation: [ɛ̃stity nɑsjɔnal de sjɑ̃s(z‿)aplike ʁɛn]; "Rennes National Institute for Applied Sciences") or INSA Rennes is a Grande École d'Ingénieurs, a School of Engineering, under the authority of the French Ministry of Education and Research.

It is located on the Beaulieu campus in the east of Rennes, it is a part of the INSA group, which trains nearly 12% of all French engineers each year. Founded in 1966 to train highly qualified engineers, support continuing education, and conduct research and testing, it is the biggest engineering school in the region of Brittany. The five-year curriculum aims at training engineers who possess humane qualities and are well versed in the primary areas of science and engineering. The school accommodates 1,400 students in engineering.

The 5-year education is divided into two parts:

The five year academic curriculum starts with a foundation course (preparatory cycle) where students focus on fundamental sciences (maths, physics, chemistry, mechanics and computer sciences) and then progressively concentrate on specialized areas in science and technology. This generalist preparatory cycle ensures that all INSA engineers acquire a solid background in terms of skills and competence, thus allowing them to reorient their career independently of their initial specialization. The first cycle is the highly selective part of the studies. During the first year the examinations are very hard to test if students are able to continue with their engineering studies.

Some special sections are available :

The second cycle offers 7 different engineering specialties:

On top of this 7 specialties, INSA Rennes offers more possibilities to its students with programs like:

The school is located on the Beaulieu campus, served by multiple bus routes and the metro line B.
