Zoom on the Immersive Computer Project

Every year since 2010, our engineering students are associated with the students from the University of Caen Normandy, from the School Brassart and from The Institute of Architecture and Design (IMAD). In a team, they compete against each other in a five-day computer challenge.

The aim of this serious-game: reinforce the skills learnt as well as to develop new skills in order to adapt to the high technical requirements of the projects. All in a limited time at a frantic pace.

Admissions

Become “ensicaennais” !

International students who wish to pursue an academic period to study for a Master of Science degree in Computer Science and depending on their level of studies are admitted to the Bachelor 3, Master1 or Master2 year. According to their mobility project, they have the possibility between being an exchange student, a double degree student or a fully enrolled ENSICAEN student.

The quality of how they are welcomed, the accommodation and their integration is a major preoccupation of ENSICAEN.

That is why they are taken care of by the International Club’s engineering students when they arrive and receive support from the International Relations Office which provides continuous follow-up to facilitate administrative and logistic procedures.
