An international perspective

ESIEE-Amiens study programme takes into account the growing necessity for its graduate engineers to be operational in a multicultural and ever-evolving environment.

Being open to the world has always been an important element of our training programme. More than 50% of the graduates in 2016 studied abroad, either working on a research project or following classes in a foreign university or carrying out an internship in a company. ESIEE-Amiens is continually developing partnerships abroad with universities, laboratories, research centres and companies.

A practical experience

During their final two years of study, ESIEE-Amiens students are required to carry out two work placements in a company or research laboratory (a placement of minimum 16 weeks in M1 and a placement of minimum 26 weeks in M2) in order to gain professional experience before entering the job market.

A diversified curriculum

From the 1st year of the Master's programme, all the students will follow specialised courses in one of the three options offered:

• Electrical Engineering and Sustainable Development

• Advanced Manufacturing Systems

• Computer Networks and Telecommunication

Professional Network

An Industrialists' Association supporting the school

Since the creation of the school, ESIEE-Amiens has always been supported by more and more leading industrial firms.

The members of this Industrialists' Association are actively involved in the development of the School, sharing their knowledge, giving professional advice and welcoming students for their internships.

Industrial representatives are frequent visitors at ESIEE-Amiens, giving the students the benefit of their expertise.

Registration

ESIEE-Amiens is a new member of the n+i network, but has welcomed foreign students onto its programmes for many years.
