The Higher School of Applied Sciences and Private Technology of Gabès (ESSAT) was created in 2007 around a project that combines high-level teaching, personal initiatives, professional behavior development, and the implementation of innovative means in the field of higher education.
ESSAT (Higher School of Applied Sciences and Private Technology of Gabès) is a private higher education institution, approved by the State under No. 05/2007. Its goal is to train highly qualified, autonomous, versatile, creative, and globally competitive engineers and executives. The quality of the training it offers and its alignment with market expectations allow its students to participate—through the assimilation of scientific progress and the mastery of new technologies—in improving business competitiveness in the service of national development. The application of modern, innovative pedagogical methods relies on the experience of its teachers in training, supervision, and scientific research. The degrees awarded by the Higher School of Applied Sciences and Private Technology of Gabès are recognized by the Tunisian State.
In addition to increasing the knowledge of its students, ESSAT has developed a spirit of openness towards the future through an introduction to professional life, enabling smooth integration and familiarization with the socio-economic environment. Cultural and sports activities organized throughout the academic year also constitute a form of contribution to training. The institution's graduates thus acquire a great capacity for tolerance and adaptation, allowing them to acclimate to cultural diversities to face the challenges of globalization.
Since its creation, the School has continually developed its know-how and innovated. The richness of the courses, the quality of its teachers, and pedagogical innovation are the basis of the success experienced by ESSAT, both nationally and internationally. The expertise and scientific and pedagogical skills of its potential and human resources make ESSAT a recognized partner that prepares students for technical or linguistic certifications. This dynamism has allowed us to conclude a number of agreements signed with Tunisian and foreign universities as well as with national and international companies.
