Telecom Bretagne (formerly known as ENST Bretagne) was a French grande école of engineering, and a research centre providing training in information technologies and telecommunications. In 2017, it merged with École des mines de Nantes to form IMT Atlantique.

As a member of the Institut Mines-Telecom, it had three campuses:

  • Plouzané, in the , near Brest (France);
  • , in Rennes (France);
  • SUPAERO campus, in Toulouse (France).

Telecom Bretagne had been the source of breakthroughs[citation needed] in the world of telecommunications, notably[citation needed] the turbo codes (first published in Proc. IEEE ICC'93) used extensively in 3G mobile telephony standards.

(Mastères spécialisés, masters de recherche, PhDs...)

Admission[]

Admission for the Engineering degree is decided, for most French students, through competitive examination after two to three years of mostly theoretical physics and mathematics classes in CPGE. Foreign students and a few French students are selected after undergraduate or graduate studies based on their results and specific tests.
