ENSEA

Bachelor Human-IT (post-baccalauréat)

Applicants from general, technological or vocational baccalauréat tracks, or university students changing course, apply through Parcoursup. Shortlisted candidates take a 15-minute oral (a 5-minute presentation of motivation followed by a 10-minute discussion with the jury). Under the 2026 Parcoursup calendar, wishes are formulated from 19 January to 12 March 2026 and responses arrive from 2 June to 11 July 2026.

Engineering cycle after classes préparatoires

Students from MP, MPI, PC and PSI classes join through the Centrale-Supélec concours (grands admissibles are exempt from orals; admissibles sit orals at ENSEA in mathematics, physics and English). PT and TSI students use the Arts et Métiers ParisTech concours (registration December to January), and ATS students the ATS concours.

Engineering cycle after higher education (French diplomas)

• Bachelor of an engineering school, Licence 3 or Master 1/2 in electronics, electrical energy, automation, science or physics with at least one electronics module: Admission Sur Titre (file review, then a one-hour scientific and career-project interview). Applications are due on 31 May; roughly ten places.
• BUT 2 or 3 (GEII, Réseaux et Télécommunications, Mesures Physiques): concours B.U.T. (applications 11 February to 11 March for the 2026 intake).
• Licence 2 or Licence 3 in Sciences and Technologies: concours Pass'Ingénieur.
• Apprentice engineering track (Bachelor, BUT, BTS, CPGE): file via the IMT apprenticeship platform followed by a video motivation interview; the company funds tuition.

International applicants

Admission sur titre for holders of a foreign diploma is made directly to the school by email; ENSEA is not connected to the Études en France platform. Entry is possible into first year (Bac+3 validated) or second year (Bac+4 validated, or a US senior year). Third-year entry is possible but does not lead to the ENSEA engineering diploma. Applications are accepted for 1 September intake only, with a deadline of 15 April and a reply towards the end of April. The file contains the application form, the curricular plan, transcripts of all higher education years with ranking (translated and certified if not in French or English), a language certificate (TCF or DELF for French; TOEIC, IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge for English), CV, motivation letter in French or English, a copy of an identity document, and a 56 EUR application fee. Selection criteria are academic results, language level, a clear career plan and motivation. Exchange students come through partner agreements, Erasmus+, the FAME programme (US third-year electrical engineering or computer science students, spring semester, deadline 15 October) or double-degree agreements. The second year can be taken entirely in English, along with two third-year specialisations.

Master and doctorate

The Master 2 Recherche (Systèmes Intelligents et Communicants) is taken in parallel with the third engineering year or by holders of a Bac+4/engineering diploma on file application. The Mastères Spécialisés AASP and EDESI admit engineers or equivalent in electronics, mechanics, acoustics or signal processing (AASP) and electronics or electrical engineering (EDESI) on file and interview. Doctoral positions in ETIS or LÉA are by unsolicited application.

Visa and insurance

EU, Norwegian, Icelandic and Swiss citizens do not need a visa. Other students follow French embassy or consulate procedures; the International Relations Office assists after admission with registration, accommodation and an International Welcome Desk. Students must arrange supplementary medical, liability and repatriation insurance where needed.

Cergy campus (6 avenue du Ponceau, Cergy-Pontoise, Val-d'Oise) is the school's single site, where all engineering, bachelor, master and Mastère Spécialisé programmes and both laboratories are located.

• 18,000 m² of premises, including 4,000 m² of individual and collective work areas and 1,000 m² for student association life.
• A 300-seat amphitheatre, 35 equipped classrooms, 5 BYOD rooms and 27 teaching laboratories with more than 2.3 million euros of specialised equipment.
• The Epsilon Lab documentation centre (660 m², more than 13,000 books, around forty journals, comics, DVDs and digital resources), five collaborative study rooms and a 50-seat agora.
• A makerspace comprising the FabLab (twelve 3D printers, a large-format laser cutter, a fibre laser engraver, welding stations and more), La Factory for printed circuit boards and a mechanical workshop.
• The K-fet student cafeteria run by associations, a CROUS meal point in building C and a CROUS restaurant nearby; a student foyer with games.
• Gardens, a doctor on campus under agreement, and buildings accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Housing: the school partners with Studapart for private accommodation, and the CROUS of Versailles manages six residences in and around Cergy; applications go through the CROUS Dossier Social Étudiant (15 January to 30 April before the academic year).
