Study in Université Rennes 2
Last edited on 17 Apr 2024
Among the universities of north-west France, Rennes 2 University offers a unique blend of courses, in fields ranging from fine arts and literature, to languages, human and social sciences and sports science. Our university is firmly rooted in Rennes and in Brittany and is a vibrant driving force, both at the regional level and nationally, thanks to the variety of courses on offer, the quality of its research and its lively arts and culture scene. The courses available to our 24,000 students include an exceptionally wide range of modern languages, with 19 different languages and cultures to choose from.
The university has a truly international outlook, and has exchange programmes with 265 partners worldwide. 3,000 international students enrol each year, and most of them follow French language and culture courses with the CIREFE Centre. The university is a major player in the French-speaking world, helping enhance its influence and visibility. It maintains close teaching and research links with partners in the Americas, including Quebec, the USA, Brazil and Chile, but also in Europe (Germany, the UK, Spain, Italy), Africa (in particular North Africa) and Asia (China and Japan).
Rennes 2 University is a founding member of the regional higher education group, université Bretagne Loire (UBL), comprising 7 universities, 15 engineering and business schools and 5 research bodies. Through this partnership, which aims to pool its members’ specific competences and coordinate international projects, Rennes 2 University helps promote higher education in the Brittany and Loire regions as well as worldwide.
Our aim is to enhance the international dimension of our programmes by offering courses in languages other than French, by increasing the number of joint Masters degrees and by promoting student and staff mobility. In turn, this will reinforce our international research partnerships, in particular in Europe.
