École nationale supérieure d'informatique pour l'industrie et l'entreprise (ENSIIE) is a French graduate engineering school specializing in computer science, data and software engineering for industry and business. Located on the campus of the University of Paris‑Saclay as an associate member, ENSIIE combines engineering training with applied research and close ties to employers. Its instruction is delivered predominantly in French and English and attracts students from many countries.

Academic programmes

The school awards the Ingénieur ENSIIE diploma, a French engineering degree at Master's level that blends theoretical foundations with practical projects. ENSIIE also offers international Master's tracks, including a Master of Science programme aimed at students pursuing advanced study or research. Curricula typically cover core computing topics alongside mathematics, systems design and professional skills.

Academic and industrially oriented research at ENSIIE focuses on areas such as data science and machine learning, software engineering, cybersecurity, networks and distributed systems, and human‑computer interaction. Research is carried out jointly with partner laboratories, public research organizations and industrial collaborators, producing applied projects, internships and technology transfer opportunities for students.

Campus life and student body

ENSIIE is a relatively small institution: about five hundred graduate engineering students live and study in close proximity to teaching facilities, research labs and public transport. On‑site or nearby student residences facilitate participation in laboratory work, group projects and extracurricular activities. The school's international environment is supported by bilingual instruction and exchange agreements with foreign universities.

History, mission and role

Founded several decades ago as a specialised grande école, ENSIIE has developed a mission to prepare engineers who can apply computing methods to industrial and commercial challenges. The school emphasizes employability through internships, project work and partnerships with companies, helping graduates enter roles in software development, data analysis, R&D and system design.

Distinctive features

  • Integration of applied research with professional training.
  • Bilingual teaching and international student presence.
  • Close collaboration with industry for internships and applied projects.
  • Membership in the Paris‑Saclay academic and innovation ecosystem.
