International

Globalisation

Internationalisation is more than ever at the heart of INSA Rouen Normandie's strategy.

The internationalisation strategy is aimed at the whole of the institution's community and is organised around several objectives:

• Objective 1: The construction of international cooperation projects and bilateral agreements with partner universities.
• Objective 2: Development of international cooperation projects (Campus franco-sénégalais, ADESFA, CALIOPE, etc.) aimed at supporting the development of higher education in third countries.
• Objective 3: Strengthen the incoming and outgoing mobility of the entire INSA community (students, teacher-researchers, administrative and technical staff, and doctoral students).
• Objective 4: Internationalisation of training, in the form of courses taught partially or entirely in English, international co- and double-diplomas and short programmes.
• Objective 5: Internationalisation of research.

Several areas of development:

• Development of the network of foreign partners: international mobility for all students, who have the opportunity to go abroad under our agreements with more than 100 international partners, or through cooperation programmes such as FITEC, ERASMUS, etc. They can carry out work placements abroad, exchange semesters or even degree courses (double diplomas or joint degrees). They can take part in work placements abroad, exchange semesters or degree courses (double diplomas). At the same time, INSA Rouen Normandie welcomes many students on exchange semesters, internships, double-diploma programmes and doctoral schools. The school is also involved in the Erasmus + International Mobility programme for credits.
• Emphasis on international collaboration in research and innovation;
• The adaptation of training content to the cultural diversity of the professional world, with compulsory mobility for all INSA students, the learning of foreign languages, and sports and artistic activities.
• INSA Rouen Normandie, member of ECIU University, 1st European University where learners, teachers and researchers cooperate with cities and businesses to solve real-life challenges.

These activities are carried out, as far as possible, in the INSA group or INSA-UT Alliance, but do not exclude projects based on a regional basis, particularly within the framework of Normandie Tech, an association bringing together INSA Rouen Normandie and ENSICAEN, and the ComUE Normandie Université.

In terms of internationalisation of training, from September 2019, the school is offering specialised courses in English, open to 4th and 5th year exchange students. A scientific Summer School in English is also offered to international students from summer 2020!

INSA Rouen Normandie, like all the other schools in the INSA Group, is concerned about the quality of its welcome for international students and has signed up to the "Welcome to France" accreditation process set up by Campus France in 2019, obtaining 2 stars.
