Thewse students will receive a master degree after two years at the ensaia. For admission into the third year, around twenty places are open to students from French Engineering Grande Ecoles and twenty places are open to students from foreign universities. Students are accepted based on their files within the scope of exchanges with partner establishments on a national or international level. STUDENT ASSOCIATION AND SPORTS ACTIVITIES A board of students (BDE) is responsible for the organisation of sporting activities, special events and parties, meetings, etc. A cafeteria within the School is managed entirely by the students.
