IMT Atlantique Bretagne Pays de la Loire (also known as École Nationale Supérieure Mines-Télécom Atlantique Bretagne-Pays de la Loire or École des Mines Télécom Atlantique) is a technological university (French grande école), which was created on January 1, 2017 through the merger of the École nationale supérieure des mines de Nantes and Télécom Bretagne.[3] The engineering school is part of the Grandes Écoles, a prestigious group of French institutions dedicated to engineering, scientific research, and business education. It consists of three campuses: Brest, Nantes, Rennes. IMT Atlantique is a school of the Institut Mines-Télécom and a member of the Université Bretagne Loire.

IMT Atlantique offers a unique generalist engineering diploma. Students from Grandes Écoles preparatory classes may apply through the Concours Commun Mines-Ponts competitive entry exam.

IMT Atlantique is one of the applied schools of the École Polytechnique.

Despite its small size (less than 2000 students), the university is consistently ranked high in both domestic and international rankings.
