The ENSTA ParisTech, École nationale supérieure de techniques avancées (English: Superior National School of Advanced Techniques), is the oldest French grande école in engineering. It is a member of ParisTech (Paris Institute of Technology) and is located in Palaiseau of the Paris-Saclay campus. It is one of the most prestigious engineering institutions in France, and every year about 150 engineers graduate from it.

ENSTA offers its students general engineering training with the aim of enabling them to design, produce and oversee complex industrial systems, while meeting strict economic constraints and dealing with an international environment. To do this, the School provides high-level scientific and technological training, which is frequently updated to keep pace with changes in the leading edge technologies and supplemented by language, general culture, law and economics teaching.

The teaching is given by research professors at ENSTA with the participation of numerous auxiliary teachers from the economic and industrial world familiar with the latest technical developments in a wide variety of fields.

Research, which is one of the School's primary missions, makes a significant contribution to both fundamental and applied fields, which agrees with the School's pedagogical mission and meets the needs of business. Half is the responsibility of the School's research professors, and the other half is carried out by researchers from the CNRS, the INSERM and the École polytechnique working in ENSTA's premises.

The general nature of the training given enables ENSTA graduates to find a career in a large number of sectors such as the automotive or naval industry, networks and telecommunications, space propulsion, robotics, oceanology and the environment.
