Orientation
Our orientation services accompany you throughout your academic career, right from your first day of school. Cellule AcOr encourages students to begin thinking early about their career path in order to be fully invested in their education.
Cellule AcOr: a key player in orientation services
Every new student attends an interview with Cellule AcOr.
This meeting is a pivotal moment for students who have not yet taken time to reflect on their professional qualifications or their career path.

Cellule AcOr: on the move with you
We establish and maintain contact with exchange students.
Answer questionnaires while on exchange
During your exchange, we will send you questionnaires which provide us with feedback on your arrival, integration, housing and transport budget, schedule and academics.
Our questionnaires aim to:
- alert us to any problems and allow us to make the necessary decisions
- draw up a panorama for each establishment
- provide valuable information to future students wishing to do an exchange
At the end of your exchange, all the information required for your return to school will be communicated to you in a timely fashion (choice of credits for the coming year, school calendar, etc.).
Cellule AcOr is here to help!

Counseling
Cellule AcOr counselors support students throughout their academic career. They partner with other school staff to provide support in 3 main areas: personal counseling, academic counseling, and career path counseling.
Personal counseling
Students are constantly being challenged by new situations which can sometimes cause difficulties. Cellule AcOr can intervene to help you resolve your problems, whether family-related, financial or personal. We help find solutions that enable you to regain motivation and access the resources needed to pursue your studies in the best possible circumstances.
Academic counseling
Cellule AcOr monitors students’ individual academic performance, with a particular focus on the periods before and after end-of-semester academic jury results. Juries determine which subjects students have passed and those for which they will need to retake certain exams in the 2nd examination period. A jury may decide that a student must repeat a year. The unit is proposing to set up tutorials between students to help them better prepare for the 2nd term exams.
Individual interviews are scheduled to better understand the causes of academic difficulties and to try to find solutions, such as new study methods.
Career path counseling
Cellule AcOr schedules an individual interview with each new student. During this interview, the possible courses of study at the Ensta Campus in Brest (different specialities on offer) were discussed, as well as the different possibilities for personalising your course : gap years, substitutions, double degrees, etc.
Throughout their academic career, students are also supported by teaching staff through activities such as:
- Human and Social Science classes to improve self-knowledge and interpersonal skills
- writing and updating resumes and cover letters
- meetings with alumni who contribute a wealth of knowledge about careers, projects and the world of business
- interview role-plays to allow students to rate and improve their performance

Understanding our education system: the “Grandes Ecoles”
Since the 18th century, the Grande Ecole engineering schools have been training students to become managers and senior executives in the French private sector. ENSTA Bretagne is one of these highly selective schools. They can be small to medium-sized, but all provide quality education and have strong ties with the private sector.
Grande Ecole graduates enjoy a status similar to that of Oxbridge graduates in the UK and Ivy League graduates in the United States. They are naturally highly sought after by numerous major companies worldwide. There are about 250 different engineering schools in France. The most prestigious are certified by CTI (Commission des titres d’ingénieur), the accreditation body for French higher education institutions offering engineering training.
