ENSEEIHT

What ENSEEIHT does

ENSEEIHT (commonly known as N7; legally École Nationale Supérieure d'Électrotechnique, d'Électronique, d'Informatique, d'Hydraulique et des Télécommunications) is a public French grande école founded in 1907, headquartered in Toulouse, France, operating under the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI) as a constituent school of Toulouse INP. It trains engineers and researchers across three departments — 3EA (Électronique, Énergie Électrique & Automatique), MF2E (Mécanique des Fluides, Énergétique & Environnement), and SN (Sciences du Numérique) — delivering a 3-year CTI-accredited engineering diploma with EUR-ACE recognition through three modalities: full-time student status, apprenticeship (FISA) via CFA Midisup, and the hybrid FISEA path. Beyond engineering, the school offers 5 Master's programs, 5 English-taught Masters of Science, 6 CGE-labeled Mastères Spécialisés (data, cybersecurity, energy, hydraulics, embedded systems, eco-engineering), doctoral training, and professional continuing education through Toulouse INP Formation Continue, graduating more than 450 engineers annually plus ~100 master's and ~100 doctoral candidates.

Research is conducted through four internationally recognized joint laboratories (IRIT, LAAS-CNRS, LAPLACE, IMFT) co-managed with CNRS and Université Toulouse III — Paul Sabatier, providing the scientific backbone for teaching and ~600 researchers in computer science alone. The school's revenue mix combines Ministry-regulated tuition (droits universitaires), apprenticeship taxes (taxe d'apprentissage) and OPCO-funded apprenticeship contracts, corporate-funded research contracts (chairs with EDF, joint labs, IRT Saint Exupéry partnership), continuing education fees from over 350 professionals/year, and the N7 Développement endowment fund created in 2020. International outreach is executed via 160+ academic partnerships, the N+I, FITEC, and Campus France networks, and the 'Bienvenue en France' 2-star label, alongside initiatives such as Women7 (female engineering outreach — Prix Ingénieuses 2023 laureate), TEDDn7 (sustainability curriculum), NSTART incubator, and the La Factory fabrication workshop.

Revenue model

1. Tuition and Registration Fees: ENSEEIHT collects registration fees (droits d'inscription) set annually by the French Ministry of Education. Engineering programs under student status charge regulated tuition. Apprenticeship programs are funded by the host company and OPCO (competence operator). The school also generates revenue from professional continuing education programs.
2. Corporate Partnerships - Taxe d'apprentissage: Companies support ENSEEIHT via the apprenticeship tax (taxe d'apprentissage), which funds the school's operations and ability to train future engineers. This is a mandatory contribution from French companies. Additional corporate funding comes through chairs (chaires), endowment fund (N7 Développement / N7Dev), and skills sponsorship.
3. Continuing Education and Professional Training: Toulouse INP Formation Continue (a regional professional training center housed within the school) delivers short courses (few days), professional certifications, and long programs (1-3 years) including Mastères Spécialisés and engineering degrees to working professionals. The school trains over 350 people per year in fields including IT, cybersecurity, telecoms, space, embedded systems, hydraulics, electrical engineering, and energy.
4. Research Contracts and Industrial Partnerships: ENSEEIHT generates revenue through research contracts with industry, joint laboratories (laboratoires communs), and chair partnerships with companies. The school is particularly active in research collaboration with aerospace, energy, and digital industry partners in the Toulouse region.
