Overview
ENSTA Bretagne is a French public engineering school based in Brest, in Brittany, and part of the wider ENSTA group that also operates a campus at Paris-Saclay.
The school has a long history, with roots reaching back almost three centuries, and trains engineers who are expected to be both creative and technically rigorous. Its general engineering cycle is shared across the two campuses, so graduates receive the same diploma wherever they study.
Alongside it, the school runs specialty engineering cycles in fields such as defence and security, embedded systems, naval architecture and pyrotechnic systems, several of them delivered through apprenticeship. Students come through the preparatory-class competitions, from technical university programmes, from the third year of a Licence, or from partner universities abroad.
The group enrols about 2,351 students and 246 doctoral candidates, supported by more than 200 teachers and researchers, 13 research laboratories and 27 chairs and joint laboratories with industry.
Research units cover applied mathematics, mechanics, computer science, physics and optics, chemistry and process engineering, and the humanities, economics and social sciences. Postgraduate offers include specialised masters, doctoral study and an one-year Inside ENSTA programme for recent engineers.
International exchange, double degrees and an alumni network of around 20,000 graduates round out the student experience.
