Founded in 1889, the ENSAIT " l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Industries Textiles ", trains 47 % of French textile engineers to post graduate levels. ENSAIT engineers have a high scientific level and are general practitioner engineers initiated to the realities of an economic globalisation and endowed with real aptitudes for innovation.
The International Relations Office at the ENSAIT offers support to both incoming foreign students and to ENSAIT students going abroad. It’s role is to facilitate both incoming and outgoing mobilities and create partnerships with leading universities, research laboratories and companies worldwide. Our objective is to create long-lasting international networks in order to enhance the success of ENSAIT student engineers in their future career.

GEMTEX is structured around two main research areas, namely, processing and chemistry of materials and composites, (which include processing of textile materials and properties) and automation and textile logistics, (dealing with modelling, simulation and control of textile processes as well as supply chain management). Because of the pluridisciplinarity of these complex researches the most important themes of research are shown on the schema but many other that imply both teams are also realized.
1. for holders of a Bachelor Degree (application is via n+I programme, Concours C)
2. for holders of a Maitrise (application is via Concours C)
3. for students from partner universities having a double degree agreement with ENSAIT (application is made via their home university International Relations Office)
New!!! INTERNATIONAL STUDY SEMESTER ( Study Program) in ENGLISH LANGUAGE opening next spring semester 2007 (from 15 th January -30 th June 2007)
The INTERNATIONAL STUDY SEMESTER includes:
2 specialities:
- French language and culture classes - Research Project or thesis in the GEMTEX Research Laboratory at ENSAIT or International Team Project with a private firm.
The ENSAIT delivers at the ENSAIT MASTER DEGREE « Diplôme d’Ingénieur », after a three years study period. French students entering ENSAIT possess a two year undergraduate Scientific and/or Technological University qualification (BAC +2). Most of them come from Special Preparatory Schoolls, and are admitted after the National Entrance Competitive Examinations to “Grandes Ecoles”.
Foreign students can enter the second year of the ENSAIT after a 4-year bachelor degree.
The Academic Years are denoted:
The studies take place in the form of semesters (in all 6 semesters : S5, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10)
During semester S10 students carry out their Master Thesis either in a Research Laboratory or in a private Company
Students can follow one of the 4 following options during semesters S8 and S9 :
Teaching is organized in the form of :
All teaching is carried out in French language, but projects and Master Thesis can be carried out in English Language.
EXAMS : Continuous assessment is organized within the framework of Practical Workshops (TP). You get a mark for other types of works achieved during T.D (classworks) sessions (eg. written and oral tests in language courses).
Semestrial exams (DS : "Devoir Surveillé") for each Course Unit, exams are programmed according to a specific calender. Resits are scheduled for September or October.
ECTS : The ENSAIT uses the ECTS (European Course Credit Transfer System) which has been developed and enlarged to guarantee academic recognition of studies periods spent abroad. A full-time student in a European university must have 60 credits to validate his academic year (or 30 credits for one semester)
The ENSAIT library offers many information retrieval tools specialized in the textile fields. With subscriptions to 40 different magazines, 25. 000 books, 975 Industrial Innovation projects, 63 Ph. D theses, 3 textile data banks (World Textile, Textile Technology Digest, Colour Index), and an access to data bases on French and foreign patents, you have the possibility to find the technical information you need. The library has created different electronic tools such as press reviews and information bulletins, and proposes an open consultation of the database of its documentation on web site.
Students have free access to 4 Computer rooms (outside teaching hours), and have access to mails, and web services. ENSAIT E-MAIL and INTRANET Website There are two important information channels for students - the e-mail list and the ENSAIT intranet website. You will be then able to get information about courses, lectures, Conferences and events at ENSAIT. You can join the ENSAIT e-mail address with any e-mail address, so it is a good idea to do it as soon as you arrive at ENSAIT. The intranet website also contains an event calendar, where you will find updated information, and some useful links. ENSAIT intranet website : http://intranet.ensait.fr
Partner companies propose a great number of internships to ENSAIT, but students are also encouraged to look for their placement themselves. In doing so, they acquire the experience that they will put into practice in their future career as engineers. About 23% students find their internship in a foreign company thanks to the close worldwide relationships developed by ENSAIT.
Objective : Give a global vision of the company, of its organisation and functioning, while making a real project that requires specific qualifications. The student's work is assessed by a written report and an oral presentation.
Objective : Work on a technical study and to find solutions to the problems raised. The student engineer learns how to organize his work and to communicate the results obtained.
Intensive workshop and 2nd year project.
The abilities of the student to manage a project successfully can be assessed through these different projects. The final dissertation takes place in front of a board of examiners composed of teaching staffs as well as professionals from private firms.

Program
First preparatory training, intensive training course in French language (duration of 2 months during summer) in a language center in France. "Six-month period of Transition" in an establishment approved by the ‘n+i’ Network for the formations in the scientific field: scientific and technological level, French language (technical vocabulary) - Duration: 3 months, from September to December. Engineer Formation in ENSAIT: development and master of the language and French culture - In the field of textile engineering, deepening of scientific and technological competences acquired during the former formation in the student’s country of origin. The student can select one of the two specializations during the final year of the course of the ENSAIT (3rd years), logistics information-design or advanced materials.
Sector of employment and job opportunities
This formation makes it possible to occupy management positions, in France or abroad, in companies or organizations in sectors such as : traditional and technical textiles, composite materials (automobile, aeronautics...), research and development, retail, quality, info-design... Possibilities in particular with French companies that have subsidiaries in the country of origin of the student.
