École Supérieure d'Informatique et Applications de Lorraine
Encyclopedia
Located in the scientific campus of the Université Henri Poincaré, the École Supérieure d'Informatique et Applications de Lorraine (ESIAL) is one of the French
state-funded Grandes écoles
of engineering (engineering schools), specialized in Computer science
, accredited by the Commission des Titres d’Ingénieurs
It was created in 1990 and is based in Nancy, France
.
The standard curriculum is a three-year program (after two-years preparation) resulting in the French Diplôme d'Ingénieur
, is equivalent to a Master's degree
of the European Higher Education Area
.
At the end of each year, ESIAL students have to do an internship in order to practise their knowledge and be part of the Working world:

Educational Programs
ESIAL is aimed at producing engineers well-versed in the principles of computing science and automation, expert at integrating computing hardware and software into their products : information systems engineering, networking engineering, software engineering, telecommunications engineering, systems engineering. Studies are organized into four possible themes and students (at the end of the first common year) have to choose a fild they want to learn more :- IL - Ingénierie Logicielle Software engineeringSoftware engineeringSoftware Engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software, and the study of these approaches; that is, the application of engineering to software...

At the end of each year, ESIAL students have to do an internship in order to practise their knowledge and be part of the Working world:
- First year : a 1 month internship in a non-Computer Science field, in order to discover the every-day life in a firm.
- Second year : a 2 month internship in a computer development field.
- Third year : a 6 month Engineer internship.
