ESI educational mission

To train computer specialists capable of adapting to the constantly changing development of new systems and new computer techniques
To provide high-quality teaching as well as practical training
To ensure an individual follow-up of each student during lab assignments (PC and mainframe programming, software engineering, databases, operating systems, microprocessors, programming automatons, electronics, etc.)

Final-year Placement (Internship)

The final year ends with a 15-week training placement in a company aimed at providing students with the opportunity of gaining practical work experience.
