Specialist training

In addition to the resolutely general engineering degree programme, ENSTA organises or is a partner in several kinds of specialist training: MSC programmes and "Mastère spécialisé" post-MSc professional degrees.

"Mastère specialisé" programmes

The "Mastère specialisé" programmes are post-MSc training courses accredited by the Conférence des grandes écoles (CGE) which holds exclusive rights to the label.  These courses are organised by leading engineering or management schools and are aimed at holders of  graduate degrees (5 years of higher education) wishing to acquire a speciality. Professionals with a 4-year higher educational degree wishing to promote their careers may follow these courses too, provided that they can prove professional experience of at least three years.

ENSTA proposes three "Mastères spécialisés", in Naval Architecture, Information Systems Architecture and Nuclear Engineering.

In partnership with the École Supérieure de Commerce in Toulouse, ENSTA offers a specialist Mastère in Marketing, Management and Communication. with an orientation towards marketing for engineers and people with a scientific background.

Master degrees

The MSc or Master degrees came about through the "BSc-MSc-PhD" reform (Bologna agreement), which aims to harmonise higher education diplomas Europe-wide. They either prepare the student for the doctorate programme (so-called "research master degrees") or provide a professional training in a speciality of engineering (so-called "professional master degrees"). They last for two years.

ENSTA is a partner in a number of MSc programmes, with the level of this partnership ranging from a simple teaching agreement to co-qualification (joint issue of the degree).
