Public relations
The ENSAT has developed a strong network of public partnerships through different agreements world-wide. Our Public Relations Office is committed to developing strong private partnership networks at the national and international level, enabling our students to get hands-on training within companies or research laboratories.
One of our strategies relies on having 100 % of our students having been abroad for at least 3 months. Most of our students spend 7 to 19 months abroad.
7 months: One semester plus a 3-month internship abroad
19 months: One semester plus a 3-month internship abroad plus a “Gap year” (12 months).
Toulouse INP has introduced the “GAP YEAR” within its curriculum. During the “Gap year”, students are still enrolled at the ENSAT but they go on professional experience through internships in private or public institutions.
ENSAT students contribute to challenging research and professional projects of private and public institutions by their input and expertise acquired during the course of their 3-years training.
These different opportunities provide students with hands-on training by learning from experienced professionals. Internships are often tools in the decision-making process concerning career development. They expand employment openings and allow students to adapt to different working methods and to different codes of conducts and ethics both at the national and international levels.
