Inclusion & Special Needs

More details for incoming exchange students can be found on Exchanges – Application & admission.
Programs and Learning Agreement
There are several different degree programs at ENSAI, so it’s important to understand what makes them different. Depending on the type of interinstitutional agreement, international students accepted through the Erasmus+ program or a European double-degree partnerships can generally choose from studying in the Engineer Statistician Program, the Master in Data Science for Public Decision Making program, or in our Master for Smart Data Science program (though capacity is limited for this program!).
Incoming students should choose courses with the advice of their home institution supervisor to decide which program they should follow. This will allow for the Learning Agreement to be completed and approved prior to arrival at ENSAI.

International students who are nominated to ENSAI as an exchange or double-degree seeking student should select their courses with the advice of their home institution supervisor once they are nominated by their home institution. Please note that due to scheduling conflicts, it’s not possible for students to select courses from different degree or year programs.

ENSAI’s Engineer Statistician program (diplôme d’ingénieur) offers six specializations
- Data Science & Advanced Statistical Engineering
- Data Science & Biostatistics
- Data Science for Economic & Health Modeling
- Data Science & Data Engineering
- Data Science & Quantitative Marketing
- Data Science & Risk Management
ENSAI also offers two Masters programs:

All non-native French speakers are invited to take free evening French classes at ENSAI. International students can obtain ECTS credit for these classes, which can, for example, replace the English course or the Modern Language course in the Engineering Statistician program
