The Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Rennes or INSA de Rennes is a Grande École d'Ingénieurs, a School of Engineering, under the authority of the French Ministry of Education and Research and part of the INSA's group. INSA Rennes was founded in 1966 to train highly qualified engineers, support continuing education, and conduct research and testing. The five-year curriculum aims at training engineers who possess humane qualities and are well versed in the primary areas of science and engineering. The school accommodates 1,400 students in engineering. The education is divided into two parts: the first cycle, which is a highly selective part of the studies and which aims at giving the basis for future engineering studies, the second cycle, for which the students have the choice of 7 specialties. The future engineer chooses here a specialisation, and have then the possibility to pursue a PhD.Some special sections are available: Sports-with-studies combining a good level of education in sport and science, Music-with-Studies Theatre-with-Studies Art-with-studiesThe university is located on a campus called Beaulieu in the east of Rennes.

At the start of the 20th century, they were dispersed across Rennes with a botanical greenhouse on rue De Robien and a greenhouse for experimental biology at place Pasteur. When the science faculty moved to the Beaulieu campus in the 1960s, the greenhouses were consolidated. At present, they contain three rooms (temperate, hot and arid, hot and humid) which are used primarily for teaching and genetic research. Herbarium - Nearly 300,000 specimens; open to researchers but not the general public. Wooden models of plants - from the Berlin Museum in compensation for World War II damages. Designed for botanical instruction, they are also remarkable works of art.
