ENSAIT trains more than 60% of France’s textile engineers, making it one of Europe’s leading textile training institutions.

The school’s future graduates will be major players in tomorrow’s textiles, in the technical textiles, advanced materials, distribution, fashion and luxury sectors.

Today, ENSAIT offers a range of very high-level courses: engineers, masters, doctorates and specialised masters. Its graduates are prepared to take on the highest corporate positions.

The engineering cycle at ENSAIT lasts 3 years and is accessible after a Bac +2 (type CPGE, BUT, Licence, BTS or international diploma).

The ENSAIT curriculum includes :

  • teaching in the form of courses, lectures, seminars, tutorials and practical work.
  • personal work as part of work placements or final year projects, active participation in professional events
  • group projects (1st year project, 2nd year)
  • a compulsory international period in the form of an internship, a semester of study at a foreign university or a dual degree course.

The programme ends with an 18-week end-of-studies project in a research laboratory or company in France or abroad.

The engineering diploma can be obtained by the initial route under student status or by apprenticeship training.

The MIM Specialised Master’s degree is a unique, cross-disciplinary course offered by two CGE specialist schools (ENSAIT and Institut Français de la Mode), which have joined forces with an academic partner (IAE Lille) to offer a comprehensive, attractive training programme for the textile industry.

It trains executives with a threefold technical, fashion and managerial skill set for textile, fashion and luxury companies.

This pooling of skills enables students to acquire a range of complementary skills in textile science and technology, fashion management and the culture of fashion and luxury, which they will use in their future jobs, most of them as textile product managers.

The Textile Innovation BTS offered in the Hauts-de-France region, in Roubaix (ESAAT, ENSAIT) on a sandwich course basis, trains textile technicians in the design and development, industrialisation, production and quality control of textile products.
