General principles: international students on an exchange programme can choose their courses in a maximum of two departments, plus the language support class in French as a Foreign Language at the CIREFE if necessary; at least 50% of the selected courses must be connected to the students' Major. Priority is given to the students for whom there is a specific agreement with the department.

International students on an exchange programme who failed their exams (grades below 10/20) can retake their exams in June to try and improve their results. Retake exams take place in June only and at Rennes 2 University only, even for the students who were on an exchange programme in the 1st semester (Autumn semester) only.
