The École nationale supérieure d'informatique et de mathématiques appliquées, or Ensimag, is a prestigious French grande école located in Grenoble, France. Ensimag is part of the Institut polytechnique de Grenoble (Grenoble INP). The school specializes in computer science, applied mathematics and telecommunications.

Students are usually admitted to Ensimag competitively following two years of undergraduate studies in classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles. Studies at Ensimag are of three years' duration and lead to the French degree of "Diplôme National d'Ingénieur" (equivalent to a master's degree).

Ensimag was founded in 1960 by French mathematician Jean Kuntzmann. About 250 students graduate from Ensimag each year in its different degrees, and the school counts more than 5500 alumni worldwide.

Ensimag graduate specializations

[edit]

Ensimag's curriculum offers a variety of compulsory and elective advanced courses, making up specific profiles. Most of the common core courses are taught in the first year and the first semester of the second year, allowing students to acquire the basics in applied mathematics and informatics. Students then choose a graduate specialization.[citation needed]
