"Inside ENSTA" program

Designed for recent engineering graduates, the Inside ENSTA program allows you to immerse yourself fully in the third year of ENSTA's general engineering program and develop dual skills recognized by an institutional diploma, guaranteeing your employability.

Objectives

In order to meet the demand from companies looking for new employees with broad skills, in line with developments in their economic sectors, the “Inside ENSTA” program offers you the opportunity to:

  • Complete your training at one of the best engineering schools in France
  • Broaden your initial field of expertise
  • Or reorient yourself towards a new field by developing dual skills

To do this, you choose one of the specialization tracks we offer, as well as a profile, “Engineering and Design” or “Entrepreneurship–Intrapreneurship.” This way, you put all the odds in your favor.

Program

Program duration: one academic year (2 semesters – 60 ECTS)

In order to align the “Inside ENSTA” program with your initial profile and enrich your skills, you choose one of our specialization tracks (excluding the applied mathematics specialization).

Choosing between the “Engineering and Design” or “Entrepreneurship–Intrapreneurship” profiles will allow you to refine your career plans. Whether you want to start your career in industry, in research and development for the private or academic sector, or manage a disruptive technology project, you will find the opportunity to personalize your curriculum at ENSTA.

In addition, you will also take courses in law, economics and management, foreign languages, as well as training and support for professional integration.

The program concludes with an internship, the End-of-Studies Project (PFE), which will allow you to apply the skills you have acquired in the environment of your choice (companies, public institutions, etc.).

Enrollment

This program is open to French or foreign candidates who hold a five-year engineering degree, master's degree, or equivalent.

The cost includes course participation, documents, and use of our IT platforms:

  • Individual rate: €7,000

This rate applies to individuals who have just completed their initial training and are not yet employed.

  • Corporate and self-employed rate: €12,000

There is an additional €200 registration fee.

Depending on the individual circumstances of admitted candidates, partial or total exemptions from tuition fees may be granted by ENSTA management on the basis of academic excellence or social criteria.
