Getting to ENS Rennes

ENS Rennes is located on the Ker Lann campus, some 15 minutes from Rennes city centre. This beautiful 170-hectare campus is mainly home to higher education institutions and innovative companies.

The course programmes organized at ENS Rennes are underpinned by a strong partnership with the universities of Rennes and in part take place on the Rennes campuses (Beaulieu, Villejean or the city centre). On each of them, as on the Ker Lann campus, the resources available mean that high quality teaching is provided, under excellent conditions.
The Ker Lann campus is situated close to the city of Rennes and combines the advantages of both city and country life.
