2024-2025 academic year at ISAE-SUPAERO: courses continue to attract students in France and abroad
Available online :
ISAE-SUPAERO will be welcoming nearly 830 new students to the school in 2024.
This high number, stable compared with 2023, confirms the strong appeal of our courses.
With 42% of new students coming from outside France, the campus is continuing to open up to the world.
Steeped in the pioneering spirit of the aerospace sector, ISAE-SUPAERO offers a range of courses designed to meet the major challenges facing our societies. And there is no shortage of interest, as evidenced by the renewed attractiveness of its courses! With 356 new students this year, including 61 young women, the Ingénieur Programme has confirmed its excellent level of recruitment. ISAE-SUPAERO continues to rank among the top engineering schools chosen by students leaving preparatory classes (No. 5 for all schools combined).
As a sign of the excellence of the Institute’s research activities, 85 doctoral students are joining the campus this year. This figure, which is rising (70 for the start of the 2023 academic year), brings the total number of doctoral students in ISAE-SUPAERO laboratories to 285.
The campus is also continuing to expand internationally, with 42% of its students coming from 48 countries (up 2 points on the start of the 2023 academic year). They account for 91% of recruits to the Master in Aerospace Engineering (MAE), which has 31 nationalities among its recruits. With 168 students, this 100% English-speaking programme is at full capacity and continues to grow, despite very strong international competition. The 14 Advanced Masters programmes welcomed 190 new students, the same number as last year.
Diversification of recruitment
Finally, the Institute is diversifying its recruitment. Thirteen of this year’s entrants to the General Engineering programme are university graduates. This diversity is also reflected in the attractiveness of the Industrial Engineering speciality apprenticeship programme. Launched in 2020 and deployed in three ISAE Group schools, this course is open to DUT/BUT (68% of recruitment this year) and licence
(13% of recruitment) students, in addition to preparatory classes. For the start of the new academic year, 74 new students will be enrolled (20% women), including 30 on the ISAE-SUPAERO campus alone.
Figures for 2024
The ISAE-SUPAERO campus welcomes nearly 1,930 students this year:
· 1,040 in the Ingénieur programme (including 356 new students),
· 96 in the Industrial Engineering apprenticeship programme (30 new students),
· 315 in the Master in Aerospace Engineering programme, including 168 new students (91% of them international),
· 190 in the 14 Advanced Masters programmes,
· 285 PhD students, including 85 recruited this year.
Graduates: three-quarters of students find a job before the end of their studies
ISAE-SUPAERO’s training programmes ensure that young graduates find exceptional employment, in line with their expectations. According to the 2024 ‘First job’ survey conducted by the Institute, 74.5% of graduates from all courses found a job even before graduation, and 88% said they were ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with their first job. The Aeronautics/Space/Defence (ASD) sector, buoyed by strong growth momentum and engaged in an exceptional period of transformation, attracted 70% of our young 2023 graduates, all courses taken together. This was followed by the ecological transition (6%) and energy (5%).
