It consists of core courses, specialization courses, projects and internships.
This is a comprehensive program that comprises :
Core courses
This comprehensive and balanced set of courses covers the major technological fields alongside an essential human science component.
These courses provide students with a core knowledge base that prepares them for project management, research, development, and complex system design and implementation, in a wide variety of environments.
A major
You can choose between 9 majors and a wide variety of tracks to customize your training.
Projects
Students work on a different project every semester. This is an active learning experience that teaches them to work more independently.
Most project ideas are submitted by the school’s industry partners. Students work in teams and each individual is expected to show initiative.
The students are assessed based on a written report and an oral defense.
Internships
Every year, students spend several weeks or months in a company or a research center to gain professional experience.
- Year 1: business internship (at least 4 weeks)
- Year 2: engineering assistant technical internship (at least 12 weeks)
- Year 3: final-year project (at least 21 weeks, from April to September)

Program projects
Every semester, students take part in projects aimed at improving autonomy and active learning.
Most project topics are put forward by ENSTA Bretagne partner businesses.

Project themes by semester:
SEMESTER 1/Bibliography
The bibliographic study is approached as a research exercise: reading then synthesis of the technical and scientific documents.
The objectives are to learn how to gather information, work in a team, successfully complete work within pre-fixed deadlines and write a formatted bibliographic synthesis. The students show proof of initiative, curiosity and autonomy.
SEMESTER 2/ Systems Discovery and Analysis
Semester 2 is composed of 3 projects enabling the first courses to be put into practice.
These 3 projects (the “Informatics” Project, the “Big Challenge” Project and the “Systems Discovery” Project) enable the students to develop their abilities to problematize, comprehend complexity in various fields as well as put their knowledge into practice to answer the issues raised.
SEMESTER 3/ Field Application Project
This Course Unit is composed of project leadership (leading a project…) and project management (multi-cultural aspects, diversity…), systems engineering courses and a scientific and technical pre-project linked to the chosen training profile.
It comprises the 3rd step in the series of projects which aims to increase autonomy and the active acquisition of knowledge throughout the training.
SEMESTER 4/ The Enhanced Focus Project
This enables future engineers to deal with an industrial issue proposed by a business in the field of mechanics, information technologies, or hydrography. Grouped into small teams (2 to 5 students), the future engineers are required to apply a project management approach to satisfy the industrial objectives defined by the project initiator.
This major project enables the students to apply their scientific and technological knowledge, make contacts, establish the scope of the subject and the important technical choices to respect the deadlines. In some cases,
their work concludes with the design of a demonstrator.
A second project is proposed to students who opt for the long semester with a choice of either an introduction to research or entrepreneurship.
SEMESTER 5/ Enhanced Focus Systems Project
This enables students to work on concrete subjects comparable with those that they will meetcarry out in their future career.
In order to confront this real industrial issue, in relation with their in-depth study path, the student engineers are called upon to review and apply their knowledge as well as demonstrate their initiative. This is not an academic exercise with a single solution. Within their teams, the students have to envisage different scenarios and choose the answer that seems to them to be the most suitable for the objectives and constraints imposed, in the time allowed.

"Diplôme d'ingénieur" (i.e. MSc in Eng.) program strengths
Choosing to attend ENSTA Bretagne sets students on the path to excellence, a wide variety of career opportunities and an exciting student life.
Progressive specialization
ENSTA Bretagne's "diplôme d'ingénieur" (i.e. MSc in Eng.) program includes :
- fundamentals (core courses)
- specialization courses
- practical projects
Students begin to specialize during their first year of study, which allows them time to explore the courses on offer and their practical application through projects.
A wide variety of options
Become a research engineer, an engineer/entrepreneur, or an engineer/business manager working in naval architecture, robotics, etc.: with 21 professional profiles and numerous training options on offer in France and abroad, students can tailor their education to suit their interests and career objectives.
A close-knit team
Classes at ENSTA Bretagne are taught by research professors, visiting lecturers and industry experts. Thanks to a low student-to-teacher ratio and comfortable class sizes, students have ample opportunity to talk with teachers, who can ensure close monitoring of their progress and their acquisition of new skills. Teachers regularly discuss their practices and innovate with regard to their teaching methods.
Rapid employment in numerous sectors
ENSTA Bretagne's young engineers rapidly find work in their field of interest, testifying to the quality of our training and its responsiveness to the needs of businesses. In 2017, 96% of ENSTA Bretagne students ("diplôme d'ingénieur" program students having passed competitive exams) were in employment 6 months after graduation. ENSTA Bretagne's alumni network is comprised of more than 7,000 graduates working in a broad range of positions, sectors, company structures and geographic areas.
Specialized Advanced Masters
