The Rennes International Mobility Centre was created in January 2009. The CMI Rennes provides support for incoming or outgoing international mobility to different types of end-users:
- Incoming mobility: International undergraduate, graduate and PhD students and researchers in Rennes
- Outgoing mobility: undergraduate and graduate students, PhD students or researchers from higher education institutions in Rennes wanting to go abroad to study or conduct research.
Located in downtown Rennes, they work closely with Rennes 2 and all universities in the area to help facilitate mobility for students and researchers. They also publish very useful guides including: a guide on cultural events in the area, a guide for international students coming to Rennes, as well as a guide for international researchers.
What the CMI Rennes does:
- Reception and support for international students
- Reception and support for international PhD students
- Reception and support for international researchers and their families
- Assistance in settling and living in France (visas, residence permits, accommodation, transport, health, banking, telephone services, etc.)
- Communication, events and cultural programmation
In addition, the Cité Internationale de Rennes facility provides temporary lodging to international researchers and doctoral students (subject to availability).
We would recommend that all students and researchers who are coming to Rennes 2 University review the CMI website for helpful information before their trip.
