University profile
ESIEE Paris is a French engineering school on the Cité Descartes at Noisy-le-Grand and Champs-sur-Marne in the east of the Paris region, about 20 minutes from central Paris by RER A. Founded in 1904 as the École Breguet, it trains generalist engineers able to address digital, energy and environmental transitions. It is a school of the CCI Paris Île-de-France and a founding member of the Université Gustave Eiffel, created on 1 January 2020. Alumni include Marcel Dassault and Yann LeCun. It has about 3,000 students.
Since 1 January 2023 ESIEE Paris has also incorporated the former ESIPE, the apprenticeship engineering school of the Université Gustave Eiffel. The single engineering diploma, accredited by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI), is delivered in 5 years after the baccalauréat or in 3 years after two years of higher education. It comprises a two-year preparatory first cycle (premier cycle) and a three-year engineer cycle (cycle ingénieur), either full-time or by apprenticeship. The school lists 21 specialisations, 10 full-time and 11 by apprenticeship, in computing, security and artificial intelligence; Industry 4.0 (industrial and mechanical engineering, maintenance); embedded, electronic and communicating systems; energy transition, civil engineering and building; digital and connected health; and arts and sciences.
Teaching is organised through five departments of teaching and research: Computer Science and Telecommunications; Cyber-physical Systems Engineering; Industrial Engineering; Management, Human Sciences and Languages; and Health, Energy and Sustainable Environment. More than 120 permanent teacher-researchers work in them. It also offers two programmes taught entirely in English (a Master in Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity and the M.Sc. Management of Technology - Information Systems), a licence professionnelle and continuing education.
Five technology platforms support teaching, including a 650 m2 clean-room facility. Students share the campus with about 15,000 students of the Cité Descartes. Student life is organised around associations and more than 20 clubs, including a cybersecurity club, an international club and the Junior ESIEE junior enterprise. Thursday afternoons are kept free for extracurricular activities, and nearly 30 sports are offered.
International experience is part of the diploma: students spend 4 to 24 months abroad at a partner university or in a company with more than 120 partners, 18 double degrees and more than 200 exchange students each year. Graduation requires at least 785 points at the TOEIC. International students receive airport pick-up, a buddy scheme and French classes. The school reserves housing in the Ampère (Arpej) and Arago residences and has priority places in other student residences around the Cité Descartes. The engineering programme is accredited by the CTI, and the M.Sc. MoTIS is accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles.
From the 2027 intake, ESIEE Paris charges modulated fees based on the CROUS social criteria: for non-scholarship students 8,280 euros a year in the first cycle (two years) and 8,680 euros a year in the engineer cycle (three years). CROUS scholarship students pay 7,452 to 2,070 euros a year in the first cycle and 7,812 to 2,170 euros a year in the engineer cycle, according to scholarship level: level 0bis/1 10% exemption (7,452 / 7,812 euros), level 2 20% (6,624 / 6,944), levels 3-4 30% (5,796 / 6,076), level 5 40% (4,968 / 5,208), level 6 60% (3,312 / 3,472) and level 7 75% (2,070 / 2,170). Fees are fixed for the duration of the cycle. Apprentices pay no tuition, as it is fully covered by the employer. This system replaces the former ESIEE Paris scholarship for new students.
2026/2027 tuition: Master in AI and Cybersecurity, 8,680 euros for each of the two years; M.Sc. MoTIS, 10,500 euros for the complete 18-month programme, or 8,500 euros for students from partner universities. Meals and housing are not included.
