University profile
Isep (Institut supérieur d'électronique de Paris) is a private engineering school for digital technologies, training engineers and bachelors in computer science, data science and artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, electronics and telecommunications, and embedded systems. It was founded in 1955 by the Institut Catholique de Paris and is run as a non-profit association. Its motto is to build digital technology in the service of people, an approach it calls Humanware, alongside strong scientific and technical foundations enriched by humanities such as management, geopolitics, ethics and ecological transition.
Isep is a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles, its engineering diploma is accredited by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieurs (CTI, renewed in 2024 for five years, the maximum), and it holds the EESPIG label (Établissement d'Enseignement Supérieur Privé d'Intérêt Général), meaning it is under contract with the State, non-profit, and evaluated by the HCERES on the same criteria as public institutions.
Programmes include two integrated preparatory options (Prépa associated with Lycée Stanislas, CPA, and the Prépa Intégrée, CII, with programmes in Informatique et Technologies Numériques in French and in English, Numérique, Économie et Finance, and Data et IA), a three-year Cycle Ingénieur with 11 pathways (student or apprentice status, taught in French and English), two Bachelors en Sciences et Ingénierie conferring the grade de licence (Informatique et projets numériques; Informatique et santé), and the Mastère Spécialisé® Management et Protection des Données Personnelles.
Isep teaches on campuses in Paris (Notre-Dame-des-Champs, 6th arrondissement) and Issy-les-Moulineaux (Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, opened 2014), and opened a campus in Bordeaux in 2025 at the Saint-Joseph de Tivoli school complex. About 40% of students are apprentices and 27% of the 2025 intake were women.
Student life is organised through student associations (including ISEPA, which supports international students, and Transaharienne for intercultural projects), the Garage Isep project space at Issy, and the Isep start-up incubator created in 2016. A housing service works with Crous residences and the Maison de l'Inde at the Cité Universitaire de Paris, with partner housing platforms and housing near the Issy campus.
International experience is compulsory for graduation, through an academic semester, double degree or internship abroad. Isep has about 160 partner universities in 45 countries, exchange programmes (GE4, BCI-PEE, MICEFA, Erasmus+) and the Stanford in Paris programme, and more than 25 nationalities are represented on campus.
