Jobs and careers
A multidisciplinary school recognized in the most innovative sectors of activity

Data from the Conference of the French institution of higher education (Conférence des Grandes Écoles) national survey (2021 graduates)
- Survey conducted at the start of 2023 on the class of 2022
- 70%: response rate to the survey
- 81% permanent employees
- Full employment reached quickly: majority before graduation,90% within 2 months
- ENSTA Bretagne's employment rate is much higher than the national average for engineers (source CGE 2022): +4 points (national average in 2022: 93%).
Successful employability
The figures from the annual employment survey conducted among young graduates confirm this each year:
- ENSTA Bretagne graduates quickly move into jobs with responsibilities.
- They work in France and abroad, for SMEs and large groups, in design offices and in high-tech companies, in many sectors of excellence: maritime, automotive, aerospace, digital systems, defense and security...
- They work in a variety of engineering professions and jobs: design, development, architecture, expertise, testing, calculation, studies, R&D, research, shipyards, project management, entrepreneurship, quality, etc.

The ENSTA Bretagne Alumni Association runs the ENSTA Bretagne graduate network, and accompanies them throughout their career and all through life, with many services on offer. The association’s office is on the school campus, which makes it easy for students to speak to over 5000 former students.
Some memorable moments throughout the year:
- The reunion weekend when several former cohorts are invited to come back to Brest and discover the latest changes to their school. It is also an opportunity for “old boys and girls” to speak to the students and really get a lot out of the reunion weekend.
- The « student/graduate » forums (to prepare for professional life) and « internships & jobs » enabling ENSTA Bretagne students to meet the graduates, to network and discover many career possibilities.

Industrial research chairs and shared laboratories
Mechanical sciences
ANR Industrial Chair in « SELF-HEATING »

Information & Communication Technologies
GIS CORMORANT
Thales founded this scientific interest consortium (GIS) with the scientific community in the West of Brittany, to study 3 areas:
- Smart processing and sensors
- Human-system interaction and human factors
- Autonomy of maritime systems
Transnum
« Transnum » aims to create new autonomous systems to observe and monitor the marine environment. It was created by Thales, ENSTA Bretagne and ISEN Ycréa Ouest.
Waves
This shared lab, in partnership with Thales DMS, works on improving distributed and autonomous sensor network performance for detection and automatic identification in the marine environment. One of its main areas of focus is the development of reliable and secure robotic technologies.
Lateral
This lab is shared with Thales TOSA and carries out research into technology for microwave frequencies, antennas and guidance for embedded systems.
Naval systems cyberdefense chair
At the beginning of 2019, ENSTA Bretagne joined the naval systems cyberdefense chair of the Ecole Navale, alongside IMT Atlantique, Naval Group and Thales. The research focusing on mathematics and computer technology, aims to detect attacks and protect and defend equipment from attacks.
SENI
The activities of this joint research and innovation laboratory between Naval Group and ENSTA Bretagne concern the design and development of intelligent naval embedded systems.
