ESIEA is a private French engineering school specialising in computing and digital technology, with campuses in Paris/Ivry-sur-Seine, Laval and Agen.

Its five-year engineering programme, accredited by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur, combines a two-year integrated preparatory cycle with a three-year engineering cycle awarding a Diplôme d'ingénieur at master level. Students choose a thematic track early, such as data and artificial intelligence or digital systems and security, and an international section taught in English runs at the Paris/Ivry-sur-Seine campus.

Project-based teaching, internships and work-study apprenticeships from the third year give graduates early professional experience. Fourth-year majors include cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and data science, virtual reality, embedded systems and software engineering.

Shorter specialised courses cover secure network administration, web development and cybersecurity at bac+2, bac+3 and bac+5 levels, plus a Mastère Spécialisé in information and systems security.

Entry after the baccalauréat is through Parcoursup, while later years are open through concours or parallel admission. The school presents itself as a leading French computing school in recruiter surveys.
