core values of the institution. A broad-based

equal opportunity (27,1% of French student
engineers hold scholarships). The school
has 39,7% female student engineers (far
above the national average). The institution
welcomes 19,1% foreign student engineers
of over 48 nationalities and all student en-
gineers have relevant experience abroad
(teaching semester or internship of up to
3 months).
INSA Rouen Normandie also offers a vibrant
student life on an attractive campus. Lo-
cated within the Madrillet Campus and di-
rectly connected to the heart of Rouen by

sing options at residence halls, as well as
