International Students

AN INTERNATIONALLY ACCESSIBLE SCHOOL

Admission

There are several ways that international applicants can apply through:


- The integrated undergraduate foundation course like any French student


- The selective competitive examination like any French student


- Qualifications and academic records.


You can apply to enter the 1st year (for a 3-year course) if you are currently in a higher education institution abroad (university, engineering school, etc.) with a view to obtaining a bachelor degree in science or technology.

You can apply for direct entry into the 2nd year (for a 2-year course) if you already have a Master degree, Maestria,… ..

Admission via the network n+i

The "n+i" Network, a non-profit making organisation recognised by general interest, was created in 1997 under the initiative of the French Conference of Directors of French Engineering Schools (CDEFI).

The Network brings together nearly 50 top French engineering institutions of higher education (Grandes Ecole d’Ingénieurs) who have chosen to mutualise their strengths to recruit and welcome the best foreign students, future executives of French and foreign companies around the world.

By applying on the n+i website, candidates can be recruited by one of the network's 50 partner schools.

The "n+i" Network is aimed at students or young engineers who have completed at least four years of higher education in engineering sciences, leading to a Bachelor degree or equivalent (BTech, BEng, BSc, BPhil, Licenciatura , etc…).

It provides intensive French language training (summer university) as well as a transitional semester allowing students to quickly adapt to French teaching methods.

Students are admitted on qualifications, directly into the second year and will obtain the ESTIA engineering diploma after two years.
