Overview

The three-year programme comprises two years of core curriculum courses and a final year with a choice of four academic focus areas: Mechanical Engineering, Fluids and Energy, Civil Engineering or Signal Control and Robotics.

In line with the school's values a third of the programme focuses on business sciences, social sciences and languages with a strong emphasis on developing professional and even entrepreneurial skills. Students will gain invaluable hands-on experience through two work placements - a six-week internship at the end of year 2 and a 16-week final year internship in a company - which can be undertaken in France or overseas. Coursework also includes regular contact with industry via industrial study projects and engineering projects. External speakers and industry experts play active role in the curriculum, particularly in the final year academic focus areas.
