The usual duration of studies in the French
Grandes Ecoles is 3 years. After two years of preparatory classes (undergraduate program) students take a nationwide competitive entrance examination to enroll in the
Grandes Ecoles. The annual number of admissions is rigorously limited.
Each year, Ense3 accepts a very limited number of students as
admis-sur-titre (admission granted on previously-obtained degrees).
Most courses are taught in french, therefore you must have a good knowledge of french to follow courses but a good command in english is also required as some courses are taught in english and a CECR level of B2 is needed to be awarded the
diplôme d’ingénieur.
The majority of students enroll in Ense3 by passing the national entry test. However, French and foreign students may also apply for the 1st, 2nd year.
