ENSIMAG is a top French educational institution, «Grande École», in the fields of computer science and applied mathematics. The «Grandes Écoles» system is a French specificity known for its excellence. The strong connexion between mathematics and computer science leads to the teaching of high level engineers, who are graduated with a «diplôme d’ingénieur» (Master’s degree). There are several ways to study at ENSIMAG : as a regular student, as an international master student, an exchange student, a double degree student or a research intern. Ensimag recruits students after two years of undergraduate studies (in its first year) Admission in Ensimag's second year is open to holders of a bachelor's degree with a strong background in mathematics and computer science.
Fields of study ENSIMAG's curriculum includes strong foundations in applied mathematics and computer science in the first three semesters. Students specialize during the fourth and fifth semester in one engineering field. • • • • • • •
Mathematics for financial engineering Information technology for financial engineering Models, calculus and simulation Images and virtual reality Security, cryptology and coding of information systems Logistics, optimization of information systems Engineering of computer systems
Alternatively, students can opt in the 5th semester for a research oriented curriculum in the following fields : • • • • • •
Images, vision and robotics Applied mathematics Operations research, combinatorial mathematics and optimization Systems and software Intelligence, interaction, information Bioinformatics
Studies conclude with a full-term end of studies project, either in industry or in one of the many research laboratories in the area.
