The tuition fees for this year of apprenticeship are fully covered by the host company.

This program is a real stepping stone. The learning experiences gained in the company directly complement the courses taught at school. Most students in work-study programs receive a job offer at the end of their contract. The network of 10,000 partner companies of ECE facilitates finding an apprenticeship contract.

The Bachelor’s in Cybersecurity is a Bac +3 that opens several pathways. You can either directly enter the job market or continue towards a Bac +5. ECE notably offers the MSc in Cybersecurity Management, an engineering-level program that deepens the strategic and organizational aspects of information system security.

Other pathways exist towards the engineering cycle of ECE or towards a specialized Master’s. These further studies allow you to access higher responsibility positions and expand your skills towards security management, governance, or cyber defense.

The admissions process is open year-round, except for Parcoursup. You submit your application online on the ECE platform. After review by a jury, a motivation interview will be offered if your profile is selected. You will receive a response within 5 business days following the interview.

The program is accessible right after the Bac for entry into the 1st year. Entry into the 2nd or 3rd year is possible if you have a Bac +1 in computer science or a scientific or technological BTS. The school evaluates each application individually to tailor the program to your level and professional project.

Yes. The Bachelor in Secured Infrastructure Administration awards a level 6 professional certification, registered with the RNCP under number 37680. This certification validates skill blocks recognized by companies in the sector and facilitates your entry into the job market.

Throughout the training, you will work with tools and environments used in real conditions: firewall configuration, server security, access and network protocol management. The practical application of these tools is at the heart of the projects and internships integrated into the curriculum, so you will be immediately operational upon graduating from the school.
