Counseling

Cellule AcOr counselors support students throughout their academic career. They partner with other school staff to provide support in 3 main areas: personal counseling, academic counseling, and career path counseling.
ENSTA Bretagne : Rentrée des élèves

Personal counseling

Students are constantly being challenged by new situations which can sometimes cause difficulties. Cellule AcOr can intervene to help you resolve your problems, whether family-related, financial or personal. We help find solutions that enable you to regain motivation and access the resources needed to pursue your studies in the best possible circumstances.

Academic counseling

Cellule AcOr monitors students’ individual academic performance, with a particular focus on the periods before and after end-of-semester academic jury results.  Juries determine which subjects students have passed and those for which they will need to retake certain exams in the 2nd examination period. A jury may decide that a student must repeat a year. The unit is proposing to set up tutorials between students to help them better prepare for the 2nd term exams.

Individual interviews are scheduled to better understand the causes of academic difficulties and to try to find solutions, such as new study methods.

Career path counseling

Cellule AcOr schedules an individual interview with each new student. During this interview, the possible courses of study at the Ensta Campus in Brest (different specialities on offer) were discussed, as well as the different possibilities for personalising your course : gap years, substitutions, double degrees, etc.

Throughout their academic career, students are also supported by teaching staff through activities such as:

  • Human and Social Science classes to improve self-knowledge and interpersonal skills
  • writing and updating resumes and cover letters
  • meetings with alumni who contribute a wealth of knowledge about careers, projects and the world of business
  • interview role-plays to allow students to rate and improve their performance

Our supervisory authority

ENSTA Bretagne is a public engineering school with dual civil and military training and research activities. Since its foundation, the school has been under the auspices of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, with the French Government defense procurement and technology agency (DGA) acting as the supervisory authority.

Role and involvement of the supervisory authority

The DGA plays a key role in the school's operations and missions.

  • Together with ENSTA Bretagne’s Director, the DGA establishes the Performance and Objectives Contract (COP). This document defines the school’s development over a 5-year period in terms of education, research and strategy. 

  • The supervisory authority participates in the school’s governance, regularly providing support and guidance to the Director. The DGA also provides ENSTA Bretagne with operational resources including buildings, materials and staff.

  • The DGA and ENSTA Bretagne work together to define the amount of the government public service government subsidy allotted to ENSTA Bretagne for its operations and activities. This subsidy represents a significant portion of the school’s budget: it provides support for ENSTA Bretagne’s activities which benefit the Ministry of the Armed Forces and, more generally, national defense, whether in terms of training or research.

DGA engineering schools

The DGA acts as supervisory authority for 4 French “Grande Ecole” engineering schools: Ecole Polytechnique, ISAE-SUPAERO, ENSTA Paris and ENSTA Bretagne, which are among the oldest and most recognized by businesses.

These establishments—and ENSTA Bretagne in particular—play a key role in the defense sector, contributing to developing skills and expertise within the DGA and many other organizations and firms in the defense and security industries. In terms of innovation, these domains represent some of the most demanding and advanced technical environments, and the name ENSTA itself (Ecoles Nationales Supérieures de Techniques Avancées) refers to this technological advancement.

Businesses providing complex products and services for civil sectors, where cutting-edge is synonymous with competitiveness, are also drawn to the excellence of the 4 schools supervised by the DGA.

The DGA: principal investor in the French government

The DGA is at the heart of the national defense program and works together with the armed forces (land, sea and air) and cybersecurity personnel to ensure immediate and long-term internal and external security. The DGA is also the leading contributor to European defense research.

DGA Services
Equipping the armed forces

The DGA is responsible for designing, purchasing and testing armed forces equipment systems.

Readiness

The DGA anticipates threats and risks and readies technological and industrial capabilities in a resolutely European context.

Promoting weapons exports

The DGA’s export success demonstrates our technological excellence, proof of our competitiveness.
