Lycée Bréquigny

Lycée Bréquigny is a large public multi-stream secondary school located in the south of Rennes. It offers general and technological tracks, as well as post-bac programs, including a DN MADE mention Graphisme.

A design curriculum in a public lycée

The DN MADE (Diplôme National des Métiers d'Art et du Design) is a bachelor's-level diploma, over three years, accessible after the bac via Parcoursup. It confers the grade de licence and allows either professional integration or further studies in a DSAA, an école supérieure d'art et de design, or a master's program.

As in other public lycées offering this diploma, schooling is provided without tuition fees (excluding university registration fees and material costs), making it an accessible pathway into design professions.

Content and methods

The mention Graphisme addresses visual communication: typography, layout and editorial design, visual identity, illustration, printed and digital imagery. Teaching combines project workshops, arts and design culture, representation techniques (drawing, digital tools, PAO), photography and volume, as well as general subjects (foreign language, humanities).

The program is built on project-based pedagogy, with work carried out in response to real briefs or situations, a professional internship, and a final project defended before a jury.

The Rennes context, marked by a vibrant student life and a network of agencies and cultural institutions, offers a favorable environment for internships and collaborations.
