International Admission

ENSTA offers several program options depending on your academic background. Since the engineering program is the same at both our Brest and Paris-Saclay campuses, international students admitted to the school in the general engineering track will receive the same degree, regardless of which campus they attend. Admitted students will be assigned to either the Brest or Paris-Saclay campus based on the number of available spots at each campus and the candidates’ academic and career preferences. The assigned campus will be announced when admission results are published.
