ISEP’s forte is in electronics, telecommunication and computer science. ISEP offers courses in the key areas of the Information Technology, Computer Science & Cybersecurity, Electronics & Robotics, Telecommunications & Internet of Things (IoT), Imaging & Health and Artificial Intelligence, under the three main departments of Electronics, Telecommunication and Information systems. ISEP has ten laboratories for teaching and research.

• The Teaching faculty comprises permanent members, as well as guest lecturers and experts from the industrial world.
• ISEP enrols approximately 800 students, about 18 percent of whom are International.
• International students holding a bachelor’s degree or equivalent can attend one of ISEP's two international MSc programs entirely taught in English
• MSc in Information Technology (IT) with 3 majors, viz. System Integration and Project Management (SIPM), Networks and Telecommunications: Infrastructures & Services (NTIS) and Information Systems (IS)
• MSc in Electronics & Telecommunications (ET) with 2 majors, viz. Electronics for Systems (EFS) and Telecommunications and Wireless Networks (TWN).
• Both the MSc programs run over 3 semesters, the first two being academic and the third one providing internship in a company in France or abroad, which equips the students with relevant knowledge and life-skills that makes it easy for them to start their careers.
• French courses are included in both programs.
• ISEP also initiated an International master's degree program. ISEP welcomes a diverse range of international students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
