Established since 1994 on the Ker Lann Campus, the Brittany site of the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan has become an institution of reference in the region.  Within a scientific environment of extremely high standard and quality, ENS Cachan prepares future professionals in the fields of third level education and research.


The 370 students present on the Ker Lann Campus, 10 minutes south of Rennes, have the double status of university student and normalien. They may graduate with a co-authorized master's degree in collaboration with the Universities of Rennes I and II in the fields of  :

• Computer Science and Telecommunications,
• Economy-Law-Management,
• Mathematics,
• Mechatronics,
• Sport Science and Physical Education.

Over 80% of our masters graduates are recruited by universities through competitive examination every year and 70% pursue their studies to doctorate level.

The development of research laboratories is one of the major preoccupations for all of the Écoles Normales Supérieures in France. As one of the founding members of the Université Européenne de Bretagne, the ENS Cachan - Ker Lann site carries-forth and fulfills this important mission.

The establishment provides education both in and through research. All of the ENS professors/researchers are attached to nationally and internationally renowned research laboratories - IRMAR (mathematics), IRISA (Computer Science), IODE (Law), CREM (Economy), IRCCyN (Mechanics), SATIE (electrical applications) and M2S (Sports Science). These research activities are organized within the framework of the Research College Hubert Curien. This is an internal institute dedicated to interdisciplinary research, the exchange of knowledge and student education.
