Present
Future engineers are recruited from college ("Classes Préparatoires") or after a bachelors degree in scientific areas (physics, mechanics, chemistry, computer science etc.). Some other admission possibilities are after completing the École Polytechnique or from the French military and police.
The Engineering diploma delivered by ENST is roughly equivalent to a Master of Engineering in the USA. Around 250 engineers graduate each year from ENST. 20% to 25% of the graudates are non-French. Courses cover all aspects of computer and communications engineering: electronics, signal processing, software engineering, networking, economics etc.
