A French Institution
École nationale d’aérotechnique is a francophone institution. Although the language of instruction for this program is English, all other services and activities will be offered in French. A bilingual advisor will be available to assist and advise students in English.
It is also important to be aware that the College will require a sufficient number of students in the last year of the program to be able to offer the instruction in English. If there is not a sufficient number, the courses will be offered in French, but students will be allowed to write their exams and essays in English.
