Admission change

Admission to the "ENSTA ParisTech engineering Programme" implemented at ENSTA ParisTech is possible after two/three year scientific undergraduate studies and requires success to either:

  • an admission exam for Bachelors of Sciences ;
  • a French nationwide selective exam with numerus clausus : concours Mines-Ponts (3-year curriculum including at least 2 years in France)
  • a selective application as per Top Industrial Managers for Europe (TIME) double degrees[3] procedures applicable in Europe (2+2-year curriculum, including 2 years in France)

The "ENSTA Programme" typically lasts three years and results in a master's degree, augmented with international experience. Thus undergraduate studies + the ENSTA Programme account for more than a cumulated 300 ECTS credits as applicable in the European education system.

However, graduate students enrolled in the TIME double degree procedure are required to spend two-years at ENSTA ParisTech and spend two years in the TIME-partner institute for a total of four years resulting in a double master's degree.

Research labs change

Research activities at ENSTA ParisTech relate to the following topics:

  • Chemistry and Processes Unit (UCP)
  • Electronics-IT-robotics Unit (U2IS)
  • Applied Mathematics Unit (UMA)
  • Mechanics Unit (UME)
  • Applied Optics Unit (UOA)
