The curriculum progresses from basic maritime and military training through a scientific core, specialist options, international relations, advanced defense pathways, and an individual project. International-relations study matters because naval officers routinely support diplomats and must understand the theories and language guiding negotiations. The fifth semester centers on a final project, while the sixth is the Mission Jeanne d'Arc application campaign at sea. Students on the engineering route then graduate as naval-school engineers, joining technical depth to military and diplomatic preparation.
