Nantes Campus
Nantes campus, headed by Pascal Leblond, is located within the Ecole Centrale de Nantes. Philippe Roy is in charge of the studies and training office (BEF).
Under the authority of the campus director, the BEF is the main point of contact for students. It is the interface for administrative, pedagogical and disciplinary matters. It is responsible for welcoming and monitoring students in the Maritime Engineering stream, as well as trainees in the professional bridge (Officer in charge of a navigational watch, Master 3000) and electrical engineering (ETO) courses, and continuing education trainees, for whom it issues certificates.
In Nantes, ENSM trains engineers in the maritime engineering speciality and offers training in the professional bridge course.
Educational Equipment
2 simulators :
- Bridge Simulator: Features a large cabin with a 180° field of vision and a true monitoring station. Three additional cabins equipped with PCs and a video-projection system complete the set. This simulator is used for maritime training in all visibility conditions and for manoeuvring. It is also used in maritime engineering training.
- Engine Simulator: To train in the operation of the ship’s propelling system and the management of its auxiliaries.
8 laboratories :
- 2 Multimedia laboratories with 16 workstations
- 1 Electrical engineering laboratory
- 1 Industrial networks laboratory (Internet, Ethernet)
- 1 New energies laboratory with fuel cells
- 1 Climate engineering laboratory (equipped with an air conditioning bench and two industrial refrigeration benches) coupled with a hydraulics laboratory (equipped with hydraulics benches)
- 1 Automation laboratory
ENSM is a partner of the University and Ecole Centrale de Nantes with which it develops projects in the maritime field such as conferences, joint laboratories, and specialised masters. The three partners share the will to build bridges, particularly through the pooling of courses.
Ecole Centrale de Nantes, ENSM, and the University have identified complementary skills that they combine to:
- Offer excellent training in maritime and paramaritime fields
- Develop research work to serve innovation and industrial development
- Create synergy between students
This approach is illustrated by:
- Developing partnership-based training courses
- Creating and developing joint training modules
- Involving teacher-researchers in partners’ courses
- Gradually integrating ENSM teachers into the research teams of the University and Ecole Centrale for joint scientific work
- Occasional exchange of specialists for teaching or joint scientific research
- Exchanging research documents, scientific documents, information, and publications
This approach aligns with Campus Nantes, the development plan for Higher Education, Research, and Innovation (ESRI) of Nantes Métropole.
ENSM is a member of the Nautical skills and careers Campus, where maritime engineering training are of interest for sector’s industrialists.
Maritime Social welfare Service
The MSS holds regular office hours on the campus.
The dates are available from the Studies and Training Office (BEF).

ACCOMODATION AND CATERING
Students have access cards to university restaurants. There are numerous fast-food outlets adjacent to the site.
Visale scheme (formerly Clé – Caution Locative Etudiante du Crous)
This scheme allows tenants to benefit from a traditional guarantee for accomodation for those who do not have someone they know to take on this role. Visale then acts as a “guarantor” for the future tenant.
Colibree Scheme
Colibree is an inter-generational home-sharing platform for students looking for a room to rent.
