CESI - École d'Ingénieurs

Undergraduate Level

The Undergraduate Level (five-year engineering program) is accessible after a scientific or technological secondary education diploma equivalent to French secondary education.

The program consists of two years of undergraduate studies (which do not lead to a degree), followed by three years in an engineering program, leading to an engineering degree (Master’s Degree).

Graduate Level

The Graduate Level (three-year engineering program) leads to an engineering degree (Master’s Degree). It’s accessible after a Bachelor’s Degree, a Bachelor’s Degree (bac+3), or a CPGE (Undergraduate courses for Higher Education), as well as certain undergraduate degrees bac +2 (Vocational training courses (BTS), technical degrees (BUT2), Bachelor’s Degree bac+2) under certain conditions.

This program is available in French or English (Industrial Engineering or Digital Science) at certain campuses.

Post-Graduate Level

The Post-Graduate Level (Executive Post-Graduate Programs®) is a 12-month program that enables you to acquire a very specific specialization or to enhance your knowledge in a particular field. It’s accessible after a Master’s Degree (bac +5), a Bachelor’s Degree (bac +4) with at least three years of professional experience, or an equivalent degree obtained abroad.
