3 initial training following competitive entrance examinations A versatile and multidisciplinary school of applied education, ENA is in line with new national, European and international challenges. Its educational scope is twofold: Expertise in all key areas of public action, based on a general and inter-ministerial logic (law, public finance, applied economics, European and international issues, territorialisation of public policy, e-government); Public management (risk management, project management, monitoring and measuring of collective performance, cost control, human resource management, all in a constantly changing environment). ENA offers a curriculum that alternates between periods of study and internships. It features the expertise of practitioners from both the public and private sectors. Its goal is to train students to work together in an inter-ministerial approach to the senior civil service. Admission to the initial training program is based on three competitive examinations open to European Union nationals.
