A word from the Director
Jérémy RUBERT
Director of ESNA
Welcome to ESNA, a human-sized school specializing in future technologies: cybersecurity and drones. A school of passionate people where motivation and the desire to learn are a powerful driver that pushes towards excellence, competence and expertise. With over 200 students, all in work-study programs, we cultivate proximity, team spirit and a taste for the concrete. Here, everyone counts, everyone contributes and every project or event is a source of learning.
The real driving force of the school? Our students. Involved, inventive, passionate – they participate in challenges, create, transmit, help each other and infuse contagious energy. The results are clearly visible at external events as well as in professional integration. Student associations perfectly embody this spirit: a collective bubbling with ideas, games, competitions and projects that punctuate the life of the school. At ESNA, we learn seriously without ever taking ourselves seriously. Our markers are clear:
High-level university training, built with the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts (CNAM), a guarantee of scientific rigor and openness to the professional world. The engineering program is recognized by the CTI.
A team of teachers from CNAM and industry experts, who come to transmit their knowledge and experience to motivated young people.
Project-based pedagogy, where students design real projects for partner companies and organizations.
A team of committed and accessible supervisors, who accompany each journey with demanding standards and care.
Recruitment based on motivation rather than grades, because here, the desire to learn is what counts above all.
Results delivered since the first class graduated in 2022. 100% success rate and 100% professional integration in 2024.
Loyal partner companies, present since 2019 – Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces, digital players and industrialists – who renew their commitment to us every year.
Welcome to a school that reflects who you are and reveals your potential.

Student Life
Student Union and associations: key players in school life
Student life at ESNA is not limited to classes. The Student Union (BDE) and various student associations play a central role in campus animation and creating a strong community spirit.
The Student Union regularly organizes festive, sports and cultural events that punctuate the school year. These moments of conviviality allow students of all levels to meet, exchange and create lasting bonds.
Student associations, in turn, offer the opportunity to get involved in concrete projects: organizing CTF competitions, participating in cybersecurity conferences, innovative technical projects, or awareness campaigns. These initiatives allow everyone to develop complementary skills while contributing to the school's influence.
Getting involved in associations means enriching your journey, developing your network and fully living the ESNA experience.
