A fulfilling environment for all


Beside its core missions of higher education and scientific research, the University of Rennes 1 makes it a point to provide its members with a friendly environment. This involves:

• services specifically aimed at students (internships, social welfare, health, services for disabled students, student associations and initiatives);
• a rich cultural life shaped around the University center for Arts, Culture and Sports, the Diapason;
• a dynamic sports department offering various disciplines and ways to practice;
• a number of digital facilities, services and resources.

Last but not least, it is to be noted that campus life does not only involve students, but also the University faculty and staff. They have their own dedicated department, the Human Resources department, which manages all recruitment and career issues.

A nice place to live

In order to further its students' academic success, the University of Rennes 1 is anxious to provide them with the best possible environment. This involves parts of their lives that are not closely linked to their studies, but that nevertheless matter:

• health: the University has its own medical department;
• social welfare: among others, scholarships and housing services can be provided to the students.

The University is also committed to meeting the specific needs of all its populations: thus, disabled students as well as high-performance sportspeople can benefit from various adjustments in their studies.

Beside the academic studies it offers, the University will allow students to gain additional knowledge and skills by helping them to prepare for and seek internships.

Last, the University is also a community where students are encouraged to become full citizens and to show initiative. They can achieve this by being involved in student associations, which will for sure make their personal lives richer.
