Application
Courses being taught in French, a basic knowledge of the French language is required (B1 level is highly recommended). Incoming students are therefore strongly advised to practice between their nomination and their arrival in Rennes. A French course will be offered to incoming students (2 hours a week for 12 weeks per semester, with the possibility of validating the class – 1,5 ECTS)
The provisional learning agreement (LA) must be based on the list of classes presented on this link : https://www.rennes.archi.fr/enseignement/programme/
Once validated by the home university, the learning agreement is transmitted to ENSAB to complete the application process. For partners using Erasmus Without Paper, the learning agreement must be created on the Erasmus Dashboard. For others, the form available below must be used. When the students reach ENSAB, the schedule will be updated taking into account the capacity and compatibility of the selected classes.
The validation of the students’ mobility will depend on their assiduity and results.
Each semester counts 30 ECTS.
The amount of ECTS each student needs to validate will depend on the program established with the home university.
A transcript of records specifying the number of ECTS and the notes obtained by the student will be sent to the home university no later than 5 weeks after the end of the mobility.
