A multidisciplinary engineering institute

ENSTA Bretagne, a French national graduate engineering institute, trains both civilian and military students during a three-year programme to become highly qualified engineers with a global knowledge. Their background enables them to design, build and manage complex electronic and mechanical systems. Established in 1971,ENSTA Bretagne is a multidisciplinary engineering institute under the supervision of the French Defence Ministry.

Varied employment prospects

The general engineering training that the students at ENSTA Bretagne receive in science, technology and human resource management prepares them for a career as a design, research, development or trials engineer, or to manage a project in many different fields: electronics, computer sciences, telecommunications, automotive engineering, naval construction and offshore engineering, land-based vehicles, mechanical engineering and structural calculations, pyrotechnics and explosives engineering, and underwater detection systems, aeronautics, etc.Each year the 120 newly graduated engineers join the more than 2200 ENSTA Bretagne engineers already working in the industrial sector or for the French Defence Ministry. At the beginning of 2001, a survey of the last three graduating classes showed that 50% of those ENSTA Bretagne graduates had found a job before graduating and another within two months after graduation.

International involvement

Study of foreign languages; Training periods and final studies project; Years out, studies at other institutions; Conventions with foreign universities; Participation in European programmes; Third year class trip…It is through these different means, which the school maintains with the its industrial and academic partners with Europe and the rest of the world.

An exceptional location

ENSTA Bretagne is located on the western-most tip of France, in Brest, the European capital of marine and oceanographic research. The Brest Iroisee Technopôle, of which ENSTA Bretagne is a member, mobilizes a large potential for research and technological development in the areas of electronics, computer science and telecommunications.
