EXCHANGES @ ENSTA
Exchange students nominated to ENSTA Paris-Saclay Campus by partner universities may study at
ENSTA for one or two semesters depending on their program and study level. Exchange students
can integrate either Year 2 or Year 3 directly at ENSTA at the Master’s level or may choose to
integrate an MSc program run by ENSTA through the Institut Polytechnique de Paris.
Students on exchange must take a minimum of 20/30-39 ECTS during exchanges and
follow all courses that are mandatory in the curriculum.
Exchange students must have a minimum of B2-level in English for all programs and a
B1-level of French for courses taught in French.
Students can not pick courses between multiple majors/minors/parcours. Students
must pick one track for their entire exchange period.
Courses at the Year 1-level at ENSTA are not open to exchange students.
Nominated exchange students can integrate the ENSTA Engineer program direclty for 1 or 2
semesters of exchange during their M1 or M2 year at their home university. Semester 2 alone is
not possible.
