A school of higher education
ESIEA is an institution of higher education which provides a five-year course towards the French bac+5 "Ingénieur" degree (equivalent to a Master of Science or Master of Engineering and recognized as such by most international graduate schools).
This degree is accredited by the CTI (Commission des Titres d'Ingénieurs / the official accreditation body of the French Ministry of Education).
ESIEA has been providing excellence in education in the fields of Information Technology, Computer Science, Electronics and Automated Systems since 1958. There are now more than 6200 graduates worldwide. Our graduates are open to other cultures and able to work in globalized contexts. All students need to master English and are strongly encouraged to study another language. All students must perform a mandatory mission abroad (studies or work placement) to receive their degree.
