The normal length of study at ENIB is:

• 5 years for students enrolled in semester 1

• 3 years for students enrolled in semester 5

The curriculum is divided into two parts:

• A Foundation Studies programme comprised of 4 semesters and 2 intersemesters. The aim of this pro-gramme is to provide students with the fundamentals in the scientific, technical, humanities and linguisticindustries.

• An engineering programme comprised of 6 semesters and 1 intersemester.

The first three years are divided into an academic part (semesters S1-S6) and a vocational part (intersemestersIS1-IS3)

Courses take place from Monday to Friday. During the Foundation studies programme, tests are held onSaturdays.

Inter-semesters

The inter-semesters take the form of breaks between the 2 semesters of the first 3 years.

The inter-semester IS2 consists of an internship to discover the world of work.

Inter-semesters IS1 and IS3 take a “different approach” to learning. Alongside technical modules such asdocumentary research or training in specific software, all students take some non-technical “social” modules.Theater plays an important role at this stage, to facilitate public speaking (1st year) or to increase awarenessof all kinds of discrimination (improvisational theater in the 3rd year). Citizenship training integrating currentissues such as “living with others” is combined with introductory courses: make short audio (1st year) and video(3rd year) recordings. The students also participate in the science popularization project“petits debrouillards”andhave a hands on experience, as recommended by Charpak, with the association “la caisse a clous”. All studentsalso take a first aid course, which forms part of this approach. In addition to these elements, a conference seriesis organized around a specific theme: sustainability, science and magic, etc.



Autumn and spring terms

The modules of each semester are offered twice a year: in autumn and in spring.Each intersemester takes place between the autumn and spring terms.
