Formations for Engineer degree

Studies at ISEN consist in courses in electronics, computer sciences and computer network, micro-electronics, and also acoustics, physics, signal processing and telecommunications. The curriculum is covered in 5 or 3 years of studies according to the degree when entering the school. Studies are structured in bachelor's and master's levels but all students obtain the same degree ''Diplôme d’Ingénieur'' which is equivalent to a master's degree. Two options at Bachelor's level are offered: "Networks & Computer Science" and "Engineering Sciences". During the last two years, each student personalizes his own syllabus according to his favorite fields. The five following options are proposed at Master's level: * Multimedia, Information Systems & Networks (MISN), * Digital Systems & Applications (DTA), * Project Management & Business Development (PMBD), * High Technology & Innovative Design (HTID), * High Technology & Environment (HTE). The ISEN group is member of the Conférence des Grandes Écolesbr>
The ISEN provides an engineering degree certified by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research and accredited by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur. ISEN is in relation with universities all around the world in the field of educational exchange or research activities. Each ISEN student spent at least two months abroad during an educational exchange or an internship. International students are welcome to study in all the subjects offered by ISEN. However, Bachelor's courses are taught in French, and candidates are required to master French at the B2 level at a minimum.

Research at ISEN

Research activities are recognized worldwide in all the applications of Electronics: Control Engineering, IT, Telecommunications, Networking, Microelectronics as well as Nanosciences. Currently, research at ISEN consists of more than 150 researchers (30 of them being
