École nationale supérieure des télécommunications de Bretagne was a French grande école of engineering, and a research center providing training in information technologies and telecommunications. In 2017, it merged with École des mines de Nantes to form IMT Atlantique, which has consistently been ranked high in French and international rankings, e. g. 98 for Computer Science and 151 200th for Electrical Engineering in the 2023 QS Ranking. As a member of the Institut Mines Télécom, it had three campuses:
Plouzané, in the Technopôle Brest Iroise, near Brest (France);
Campus de Beaulieu, in Rennes (France);

Foreign students and a few French students are selected after undergraduate or graduate studies based on their results and specific tests.
