Réseau des Ecoles Africaines de Statistique
ENSAI’s ties to the Network of African Statistics Schools (RESA) is the result of historical links and cooperation between the French NSI, INSEE, and NSIs in several African countries. The ties between ENSAI and the elite graduate schools of the RESA are part of a broader cooperation that exists between the Group of National Statistics and Economics Schools (GENES) and the RESA. This partnership finances teacher mobility toward RESA schools, scholarships for African students studying in France at ENSAE Paris or ENSAI, and the coordination and organization of the competitive entrance exams for entry into RESA schools via the Support Center for African Statistics Schools (CAPESA), which is located at ENSAI and co-financed by the GENES and AfriStat.

European DD partnerships
ENSAI has active double degree programs with several European universities that facilitate both incoming and outgoing student mobility. Students from ENSAI’s Engineer Statistician and Civil Servant programs can complete their final year of studies at the partner institution and obtain both their ENSAI degree as well as a Master’s degree from the European host institution. Students from partner institutions enroll at ENSAI and obtain either the Master for Smart Data Science or the Master Data Science for Public Decision Making (EMOS) in addition to the Master’s degree from their home institution.

Admission to Double Degree programs
Students from ENSAI partners must initiate the application process at their home institution, which conducts its own internal selection process, before official nomination to the double degree program at ENSAI. Some double degree programs require an additional interview process with ENSAI prior to official admission to our program. Students should therefore obtain information regarding the application process from their home institution double degree coordinator or international office.
ENSAI students who wish to apply to a double degree program should visit the “Double Degrees Abroad” page available on Moodle for further information about eligibility requirements and application procedures.
Tuition fees
Students participating in a double degree program pay tuition fees according to the terms of the double degree agreement. Students should obtain information regarding fees from their home institution double degree coordinator or international office.
Language Requirements
Pursuing a double degree at ENSAI will give students the opportunity to develop their linguistic skills in both English and French, but minimal levels of one or both languages may be required.
Even if students elect to follow a program that is taught entirely in English, they are highly encouraged to learn some French prior to arrival, as speaking the language of Molière is essential for daily life and integration. International students are also highly encouraged to follow French as a Foreign Language courses while studying at ENSAI. They are provided free of charge.
Language requirements for programs are detailed as follows:
- Engineer Statistician program:
- B2 minimum in French, B1 minimum level in English upon entry, B2+ required for obtaining the degree. Non-francophone students must also certify their B2 level in French to graduate.
- Master for Smart Data Science program:
- B2 minimum level in English for admission
- Master Data Science for Public Decision Making:
- B2 minimum level in French for admission to ES & MSP tracks
- B2 minimum level in English for admission to EMOS International track
Official language certifications are accepted but not necessary. ENSAI trusts its partner institutions to nominate students with appropriate linguistic skills.
For any questions regarding course offerings, admissions processes, or to be put in contact with an academic advisor, please contact ENSAI’s Office of International Relations.
