The ENSTA Paris engineering program trains high-level general engineers capable of tackling the major technological and scientific challenges of tomorrow.
Through a rigorous, multidisciplinary curriculum focused on innovation, students acquire solid skills in the fundamental sciences, engineering, and management.
Enriched by numerous international opportunities and close ties to the worlds of research and industry, the program prepares future graduates for diverse, high-impact careers in strategic sectors.
Second Year: specialization and broadening Horizons
In your second year, choose a major from among four scientific fields, supplemented by a minor that allows you to deepen or broaden your skills:
- Computer Science Major
- Artificial Intelligence and Cyber-Physical Systems Minor
- Software and Cybersecurity Minor
- Major in Applied Mathematics
- Minor in Mathematical Engineering
- Minor in Mechanical and Physical Models
- Major in Mechanical Engineering
- Minor in Sustainable Energy
- Minor in Mechanical Modeling
- Minor in Intelligent Systems
- Major - Foundations of Complex Systems Design (apprenticeship track)
- Minor in Mechanical Design
A team-based engineering project (PIE) is carried out during this second year: this is an ambitious technological project, often in collaboration with laboratories or companies, incorporating considerations regarding the ecological transition (carbon footprint, life cycle analysis, etc.).
The second year concludes with a research project (PRe), conducted in a laboratory, either in France or internationally, allowing you to gain an introduction to scientific research.
3rd year: specialization and professional development
The 3rd year is dedicated to professional specialization. You will choose a scientific and technical specialization track, combined with a professional profile.
The 12 tracks offered are:
- Mobility and Energy Cluster
- Smart and Sustainable Mobility
- Naval Engineering for Transportation and Energy
- Energy Transition: Production and Optimization
- Nuclear Energy
- Mathematical Engineering Cluster
- Optimization and Data Science
- Modeling and Simulation
- Quantitative Finance
- Mathematics for Health and the Environment
- Computer Science Cluster
- Robotics
- Artificial Intelligence (in partnership with Télécom Paris)
- Cybersecurity
- Complex Systems Engineering for Transportation, Energy, and Defense (apprenticeship status)
The 3 profiles to choose from:
- Engineering and Design: project management, systems engineering, technical development in collaboration with an industry partner.
- Research and Innovation: scientific specialization, with the option to pursue a Master’s degree (M2) at IP Paris.
- Entrepreneurship – Intrapreneurship: training in innovation management, development of student projects.
This final year concludes with a capstone project, often carried out in a company, marking the transition into professional life.
