ESTIA, a dynamic and stimulating learning environment that fosters the emergence of talent in advanced technological fields

Welcome to ESTIA, a school that combines theoretical and practical training to prepare you for a promising career in tomorrow's technologies.
On our campus, you'll find a technology hall, an entrepreneurial hub, technology platforms, associations dedicated to robotics, mechanics, aeronautics and many other fields. These facilities are designed to enable students to develop their skills and achieve their full potential.
What's more, our technology platforms, such as Compositadour and Adimadour, which specialise in advanced processes, give you privileged access to state-of-the-art equipment and a network of renowned skills. They are the perfect complement to your practical and operational training.

De cet ADN, l’ESTIA puise de nombreuses singularités qui s’expriment à travers :
son positionnement affirmé d’acteur des mutations technologiques : former les ingénieurs de demain et développer les technologies qui façonnent ce que sera l’industrie du futur : plus compétitive, plus responsable, plus en phase avec les besoins sociétaux.
la place centrale occupée par l’entreprise dans le système opérationnel de l’ESTIA et son implication dans l’ensemble des actions de l’école.
son rôle de tête de pont d’un véritable écosystème d’innovation, moteur du développement de son territoire et de nombreuses entreprises qui s’y implantent pour assurer le leur et accompagner leur transition socio-écologique.
A word from the Director
"Becoming an engineer means wanting to invent the future and using your knowledge and skills to imagine the lifestyles of tomorrow. Since 1996, ESTIA has been revealing talents and temperaments, and training innovative engineers who are agents of change, autonomous and responsible.
The ESTIA campus is thus asserting a strong identity and its own character, materialised by 3 driving forces:
-international dimension and multidisciplinarity,
-constant interaction with business,
-animation of an innovation ecosystem involving all students and teachers.
3 constants that can be observed in France and Europe among the most successful and dynamic research and engineering training establishments.
Joining ESTIA is a unique opportunity to fulfil your project to become an engineer, manager and entrepreneur!
Patxi Elissalde
Director of Estia
ESTIA trains trilingual general engineers, who are responsible for design and methods offices, production and major projects.
ESTIA trains them to master mechanics, electronics, energy and IT so that they can be operational in a wide range of sectors: aeronautics, automotive, electronics, agri-food, capital goods and IT.
In a warm and creative environment, ESTIA and its CAMPUS are an integral part of a high-tech eco-system within the Izarbel Technopole.
This eco-system encourages the integration of students into the business world.
The CAMPUS :
- an engineering school and specialised courses
- a research centre with teacher-researchers, guest researchers and doctoral students
- technology and open innovation platforms
- an incubator for entrepreneurs and start-ups
