ENSICAEN’s courses
Choose your career
ENSICAEN is a public institution, authorized to award the ENSICAEN Graduate Diploma of Engineering (equivalent to a Master of Science degree – MSc) which is acknowledged by the French National Engineering Accreditation Commission (CTI).
In addition to the scientific content of the courses, lectures in complementary subjects such as marketing and management provide students with a useful overview of an engineer’s working life. Students also have the opportunity to discover a variety of different languages : English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese and, of course, French (as a foreign language, for international students).
The school is divided into 5 departments, each leading to one of 7 engineering diplomas, including 3 by apprenticeship. The apprenticeship courses are unfortunately not presently accessible to overseas students.
French engineering studies : 5 years
The french engineering education system includes 2 steps :
- 2 years in preparatory classes in selected high schools where students prepare the national competitive exams for admission to the 1st year of engineering school (level : Baccalaureat +2 years).
- 3 years in Engineering institutes to obtain the engineering diploma.
The first year is equivalent to a Bachelor degree.
The engineering diploma or Master is prepared during the last two years.
Possible direct admission to the 4th year after the baccalauréat for selected students of Universities after their undergraduate studies in Science.

Courses
MSc Engineering Physics and Embedded Systems
Our programme prepares students for careers as R&D engineers in fields such as aerospace, energy, information technology and healthcare. Combining theoretical knowledge, practical training and soft skills, it develops the ability to design innovative solutions and contribute to multidisciplinary engineering projects.
Students gain expertise in areas such as sensor design, embedded systems, nuclear safety and decommissioning, while developing problem-solving and project management skills.
Students choose one of three specializations:
- Nuclear Engineering and Energy
- Instrumentation Physics and Sensors
- Embedded Systems and Control Engineering
MSc Computer Science
Our programme prepares students for careers in computer engineering, with a strong focus on software architecture and development. The curriculum combines programming, algorithms, software engineering and computer modelling with practical training in software development, data modelling, systems security and system interaction.
Students also develop key professional skills in teamwork, project management and communication.
Students choose one of two specializations:
- Artificial Intelligence, Image and Sound
- e-Payment and Cybersecurity
MSc Materials Science and Chemistry
Our programme prepares students to develop and apply advanced materials and chemical processes for applications in energy, sustainable development and healthcare. Students develop expertise in organic chemistry, catalysis and materials science, with a focus on materials for energy and structural applications.
The programme combines scientific knowledge, practical training and project-based learning to address challenges such as energy production and storage, sustainable chemistry and new therapeutic applications.
Students choose one of two specializations:
- Materials for Energy and Structural Materials
- Organic Chemistry and Catalysis
Students in their final year of the engineering programme can also obtain a Research Master’s degree in partnership with the University of Caen Normandy
Electronics and Physics
- Nuclear, Atomic and Collision Physics
- Electronics, Electrical Energy and Automatic Control
Computer Science
- E-Banking and Cybersecurity
Chemistry
- Materials, Nanoscience and Energy
- Organic Chemistry: Environmental Catalysis and Sustainable Development
• Students after their final year of a Master of Science degree have the opportunity to pursue PhD.
• A specialized Master’s diploma (Mastère Spécialisé) is offered by ENSICAEN
E-banking and Secure Transactions
These one-year courses, following the Master’s degree, include taught theory, personal research in a business environment, and the presentation of a professional thesis.
• A non-scientific Master’s diploma course is also available in Management and Business Administration.
