What degrees does ENISE offer?

ENISE offers three engineering degrees:

Mechanical Engineering: work in design, production, R&D, quality, or industrialization—basically, everything that makes industry run!
Civil Engineering: a rock-solid training (no pun intended) to become a site engineer, BIM manager, project leader, and help build the world of tomorrow.
Sensory Engineering: this field focuses on user sensory perceptions in the design of industrial products.

What are the admission pathways at ENISE?

The journey often starts right after high school (scientific or technical track) via the Geipi Polytech competitive exam. Students who have completed a CPGE, BTS, BUT2, L2, or L3 can directly join the first year of the engineering cycle (equivalent to the third year of study). Admission is based on ENISE’s own entrance exam.

What are the career prospects after graduating from ENISE?

ENISE graduates enjoy a very high employment rate. Some become mechanical design engineers, others work in civil engineering on major construction sites, and some dive into R&D, inventing the materials of the future. Others go into industrial engineering, project management, or even consulting.

What double degrees are available to students?

Ambitious and looking beyond borders? ENISE has thought of that too! Thanks to its international partnerships, you can earn a double degree with partner universities in more than 34 countries. Canada, Sweden, Spain, Greece, Brazil… you choose where to take your journey next.
