Online pre-enrolment for our training programs is now open.
Originally, my project was to become a fighter pilot but in my second year of preparatory classes, I didn’t pass the medical. I discovered ENSTA Bretagne and especially the training in Pyrotechnics which made me want to join the school. Nevertheless, at the end of the first year in general studies, I found I was interested in Informatics. This subject is extremely diverse in terms of applications and developments. I was curious to find out more about this vast, ever evolving field.
One of the strong points of Security and Digital Systems major is the variety of programming languages that you discover, especially during practical projects.
The lessons are more of a support and you shouldn’t think twice about developing the skills you find interesting off your own bat.
I had the opportunity to spend six months in China, at Tongi University (同济大学) in Shanghai during my second year of studies, to complete a course on artificial intelligence and image processing.
This substitution was a chance to discover Asian culture which is very different from western culture on a number of points. In particular, I learned Chinese as very few people speak English.
I also made the most of my opportunity to travel. China is a beautiful country, with magnificent landscapes, paddy fields, mountains, the Great Wall etc. I was sometimes surprised by the generosity of some of the Chinese living in isolated areas where clean, running water is a luxury.
I did my internship in the Alten company, at Sophia Antipolis, near Nice. My research subject was to do with Big Data. Companies today are increasingly on the hunt to extract maximum value from large volumes of data. These volumes can be of different types, structured (databases), semi-structured (for example, representing documents by keywords) or unstructured (raw data on social networks). We call all of this information a Datalake. My research subject was downstream of the Datalake, where the information had to be organized, analyzed and exploited using algorithms that could process large blocks of data.
I loved my time in Brest. I don’t really care about the weather and I could do fantastic sports in idyllic surroundings. Brittany is a very beautiful region. It has magnificent sports spots.
The school’s surroundings, the nightlife, the associations enabled meet to meet exceptional people.
I am currently a web developer at Astek. But I’m also interested in entrepreneurship. I would like to create my own company.
Try to realize the projects that you love as much as possible, making a mistake is part of your path. You need to listen to your heart.
