Important notes

When you choose your study programme carefully check the campus where the courses are given.

While filling in your application for the Engineering programme you might be asked to sort the campuses in priority order. Campuses are assigned to students early June so, with some exceptions, incoming students do not know their campus in advance even if an admission offer has been sent. We make our best to allocate student’s first choice but, in spite of that, we cannot guarantee a spot in one particular campus. Thus, please do not book housing until you receive confirmation of the campus you have been assigned to.

There are several deadlines for applicants related to the home country and the study programme, please check them carefully. Make sure that your complete application, including all required documents uploaded, has been done in the Arts et Métiers online system by the appropriate deadline. Your application will only be assessed if all documents are uploaded in the system before the application deadline. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered. Please note that no printed documents are to be sent by post to Arts et Métiers.

When you have completed all the various sections of the application you will be able to submit it. Kindly note that no more changes will be possible after submitting it.

In case of technical problems with the application system please contact us by admissions@ensam.eu
