TheÉcole normale supérieure de Rennes (French pronunciation:[ekɔlnɔʁmalsypeʁjœʁdəʁɛn]), also calledENS Rennes is a French scientificgrande école, belonging to the network ofécoles normales supérieures established according to the model of theÉcole normale supérieure in Paris. Like its sister universities, its mandate lies in training students with a view to careers in academia, engineering and government.
Established by a decree of the 17 October 2013 of the Prime Minister, the ENS Rennes is placed under the direct authority of theMinistry of Higher Education and Research, and is a founder of theEuropean University of Brittany. Before 2013, it was a branch of theÉcole normale supérieure de Paris-Saclay, but the great geographical distance between Cachan and Rennes gradually led to its being granted a greater level of autonomy.
The school is divided into five departments, which have a yearly intake of eighty to 100normaliens, i. e. students who are granted the status of paid civil servants. Like the othergrandes écoles in the French higher education system, these students are selected through highly selective entrance examinations calledconcours, after at least two years of preparatory tuition in schools known asclasses préparatoire aux grandes écoles. As well as these paid students; the school also admits attendees calledmagistériens, including international students. These two groups of students, despite their different status, receive similar tuition over a four-year period. The ENS Rennes records high levels of success in steering its students towards research-oriented careers; indeed, more than eighty percent of any year-group take and pass theagrégation, a French national competitive examination for entrance into careers in academia, and some seventy percent go on to undertake aPhD program.
The ENS Rennes was founded in the early 90's as a second campus of theENS Cachan. 1994 was the official establishing of the future ENS Rennes, under the name of Antenne de Bretagne de l'ENS Cachan. It had then only two departments of engineering, and hosted roughly 40 students. During the next two decades, it hosted more and more students from the ENS Cachan, while building relationships with local institutions such as the IRMAR, theINSA Rennes, and especially with the two universities of Rennes. The departments of management and of mathematics were created respectively in 1995 and 1996, and in 2002 were created the departments of sports sciences and of computer science. In 2013, it became an independent institution and changed its name to ENS Rennes.[2]
