The ENSPS is part of the University of Strasbourg and a partner of the Institut TELECOM. Its mission is to train multi-skilled, creative R&D engineers, able to meet the challenges of innovation in key sectors of the new economy, notably communication and information sciences and technologies. Our graduates specialise in areas such as physics, micro- and nanoelectronics, components and systems, automatics and robotics, information technology and networks, image processing, optics and laser and engineering for health.
Degree courses
/ Physics and modelling
/ Systems engineering, contrl engineering and vision
/ Micro and nanoelectronics
/ Software engineering, systems and networks
/ Image acquisition and processing
/ Photonics
/ Life sciences and engineering
As a sandwich course / Industrial informatics
Curriculum
The ENSPS engineering degree is recognised by the French commission for engineering qualifications.
Initial teaching
Initial coursework is based on two areas : physics, components and systems and Information and communication technologies.
1st and 2nd years
/ General culture.
3rd year
/ More specialised teaching in one of the options below:
- image acquisition and processing
- micro and nanoelectronics: from components to chip systems
- software engineering, systems and networks
- systems engineering, control engineering and vision
- life sciences and engineering
- photonics: physics and technologies
- physics and modelling
- Three placement periods (minimum 34 weeks, with obligatory placement abroad).
- “Engineer projects ” involving a feasibility study of a product or a propotype as part of a group of students, using project methods and an innovatory approach.
Vocational training and apprenticeships
/ Engineering training in partnership (FIP), in collaboration with the Centre for training apprentices for industry (CFAI) and the institute of engineering techniques of Alsace (ITII).

Career opportunities
ENSPS engineers generally work in sectors related to Communication and Information Technologies and Sciences, either in major research organizations or in large industrial groups.
Networks
/ The ENSPS is a partner of the Institut TELECOM and a member of the Ampère network (promoting the pooling and international development of its schools' teaching and external relations resources ).
/ It also works with the Alsace BioValley and Vehicle of tomorrow competitiveness clusters.
International
/ Part of the curriculum can be done in partner universities abroad (Germany, United States, Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, China, Japan, Brazil, Australia) and also as part of the Erasmus programme.
/ 26 % of ENSPS engineers work abroad.
Student life
/ The Student Bureau (BDE), news of clubs and associations (Gala, Robot), the Entertainment Bureau and the Arts Bureau are all to be found on the school's website.
