ESITC Paris offers a comprehensive range of engineering programs designed to equip students with the scientific, technical, and operational expertise, as well as the human qualities, essential for a successful engineering career. Our curricula are meticulously crafted to align with industry demands, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to meet the challenges of the professional world.
⎢Engineering Programs : Full-Time Student and Apprenticeship Tracks
ESITC Paris provides a 5-year engineering program accessible post-baccalaureate or a 3-year track for students holding a Bac+2/3 in civil engineering, both under full-time student status. The apprenticeship track is exclusively available during the engineering cycle and The apprenticeship track is exclusively available during the engineering cycle and is open only to international students who have already been residing in France for at least one year.
∙ Preparatory Cycle: Welcoming approximately sixty science baccalaureate graduates, this cycle focuses directly on construction technologies and practices, distinguishing itself from integrated preparatory programs that are predominantly centered on mathematics and physics.
∙ Engineering Cycle: Open to holders of a Bac+2/3 diploma, this 3-year cycle encompasses technical subjects, management, communication, and essential internships. Internships or company placements enhance the practical approach of the training, validated through continuous assessment based on academic performance.
⎢Double Degree Program: Engineer-Architect
Since September 2023, in partnership with ENSA - Paris Val-de-Seine, ESITC Paris offers a 6-year dual Engineer-Architect program. This curriculum includes a mandatory international semester and internship periods. Accessible exclusively post-baccalaureate for a cohort of 35 students via Parcoursup, this pathway leads to a dual qualification. This program is only open to final-year high school students enrolled in French institutions and required to follow the Parcoursup application process.
⎢ The Grading System
One of the key strengths of our program is its emphasis on practical skill development for engineering students through numerous internships, totaling up to 19 months over the 5-year curriculum. A compulsory semester abroad further enriches the students' educational experience, and an optional research placement is also available. Additionally, students have access to various partnership opportunities with French or international institutions, which may lead to a double degree, depending on the agreements in place.
Each academic year is structured into teaching units (U.E.), grouping together related subjects. The distribution and number of projects vary depending on the year of study, and learning two modern languages is mandatory throughout the program.
To progress to the next year, students must achieve a minimum average in each teaching unit. Each validated U.E. earns ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits, with one semester corresponding to 30 ECTS credits. This European standard facilitates student exchanges and further study opportunities both in France and abroad, particularly within the framework of ERASMUS+ programs.
A minimum B2 level in French is required to follow the programs offered at ESITC Paris.
Thanks to its strong connections with construction companies and partnerships with higher education institutions in France and internationally, ESITC Paris prepares engineers to tackle the technological and environmental challenges of the future while meeting the demands of a rapidly evolving society.
