Online pre-enrolment for our training programs is now open.
ENSTA Bretagne offers France's most comprehensive naval architecture and engineering program with the highest enrollment. It also offers, with its partners, a course 100% devoted to marine renewable energies.
All types of ships and platforms: sailing and motor yachts, offshore racing boats, cruise ships, passenger boats, cargo vessels, LNG carriers, container ships, ro-ro ships, offshore platforms, civil professional vessels, military ships, submarines, marine renewable energies platforms (MRE).
All the parameters required for the proper operation of the system are considered: hydrodynamics and aerodynamics, durability, stability, propulsion, structural calculations, maneuverability, seaworthiness, ergonomics, etc.
Innovating for the future also means seeking more environmentally-friendly and more energy-efficient materials and propulsion systems. The Mechanical Science Research Department at ENSTA Bretagne contributes to this effort through the IRDL (Institut de Recherche Dupuy de Lôme), a CNRS Joint Research Center which is leading the way on these issues.
Each year, the Royal Institute of Naval Architects, in partnership with Bureau Veritas, awards a prize to the top student in this major. Other examples of academic partnerships around the world: United Kingdom (Cranfield University), Australia (Australian Maritime College, University of Australia, Flinders)…
Through the Institut de Recherche Dupuy de Lôme (IRDL) and shared research laboratories with industry, the research work conducted on campus focuses on :
They also focus, within the Lab-STICC, on embedded systems, and their adaptability and their reliability.
This applied research is conducted in collaboration with many businesses and organizations in the maritime sector based both in France and around the globe.
Digital simulation tools for fluid mechanics and fluid-structure interactions are developed to meet the challenges raised during the naval design phase: advance resistance assessment during the pre-project phase, assessment of the hydrodynamic performance of propulsion systems, behavior of marine structures in swell, structures exposed to impact.
Many scientific studies, ranging in scale from that of the material to that of the entire structure, are validated using our extensive and unparalleled experimental facilities. These facilities, which form the MASMECA platform, at the ENSTA Bretagne campus, are also used by students for applied projects.
In addition, every year hydrodynamics study days are organized at the DGA Techniques hydrodynamiques center and throughout the year at Ifremer's test tanks, situated only a few kilometers from the campus, as part of joint scientific programs.
In addition to the teaching programs and research on offer, ENSTA Bretagne contributes to the development of the maritime sector by injecting its expertise into numerous networks: as a board member of the Pôle Mer Bretagne-Atlantique, a globally-oriented competitiveness cluster, and as a member of GICAN, the French Maritime Cluster (CMF), the Institut Français de la Mer (IFM) and the business network Bretagne Pôle Naval, as well as France Energies Marines for the development of the MRE sector.
Le Master "Sciences Marines", parcours "Hydrodynamique navale" est délivré par l’ENSTA Bretagne et l’UBO (Université de Bretagne Occidentale), établissements co-accrédités par le Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur, de la Recherche et de l'Innovation (MESRI).
.
In the context of student projects, the ship design loop in particular, engineering students in the naval and offshore architecture major make use of dedicated professional software, in partnership with Bureau Veritas, DNV-GL, MARIN, Sistre and NDAR.
There are also many opportunities in the naval sector open to students studying information and communications technology.
This laboratory is a CNRS joint Research Center. IRDL brings together mechanical science research teams from Université de Bretagne Sud, ENSTA Bretagne, Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO) and ENIB. It is internationally recognized for its marine research.
ENSTA Bretagne teams’ involvement is concentrated around 3 research areas.
The mechanics research teams at ENSTA Bretagne form an integral component of IRDL (UMR 6027): the leading research center in marine mechanical systems based in Brittany. It brings together teams from ENSTA Bretagne, Université Bretagne Sud, ENIB, UBO and CNRS.
Using innovative techniques to assemble dissimilar materials, with a view to extending their operating lives in harsh conditions such as the marine environment.
Other main research topics include the fatigue and durability of structures under load, particularly in a marine environment.
ENSTA Bretagne contributes to numerous national and international projects aimed at building cleaner and more reliable, cost-effective and intelligent ships.
