ISAE-SUPAERO has seen a sharp increase in recruitment. The Ingénieur ISAE-SUPAERO” (MSc) program, ranked 5th in student preferences after the competitive exam for engineering schools in France, brought in 10% more students than last year.
The Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering (MAE), a program taught in English that is mainly designed for foreign bachelor graduates, was up by 40%. The Institute is also proud of the growing feminization of its student body – the percentage of women reached 23 to 26.5%, depending on the program.
ISAE-SUPAERO recruited a total of 328 students for the 2018-2019 engineering program, or 37 more than the previous year. These included 40 X students (Ecole polytechnique), which confirms ISAE-SUPAERO’s status as the leading school for applications from X. We can also point out the diversity of the profiles in our new student body, with students signing up for double degree programs through partnership agreements signed with HEC, Sciences Po and ESPCI.
Seeking to encourage equal opportunity in access to higher education, which the Institute notably defends through its OSE l’ISAE-SUPAERO diversity program and the ISA’Elles student association, ISAE-SUPAERO is pleased to welcome nearly one-quarter of women among its new recruits, whereas they accounted for less than 20% in previous years.
In terms of diversity, the Institute also had an increase in the number of international students, with some 21% for the engineering program, 35% for the Advanced Masters programs and over 90% for the Master of Science, bringing the percentage of international students to nearly 40% of the students recruited this summer.
