Becoming an engineer requires solid scientific, technical and operational knowledge as well as interpersonal skills. ESITC Paris curriculum was created and modelled with and for the profession. It combines rigorous academics in juxtaposition with a professional world that is constantly changing. Our coursework allows students to consolidate their foundation of scientific knowledge, acquire technical skills in the public works and construction fields, apply the knowledge acquired using a “project” mode teaching structure, come up with their professional plan as they earn their degree and participate in student life through students organisations or school entities and sponsoring new students
| ENGINEERING TRAINING - STUDENT STATUS AND APPRENTICESHIP STATUS
ESITC Paris offers post-baccalaureate engineering training in 5 years or in 3 years after a BAC+2/3 in civil engineering, under student status. Apprenticeship training is only accessible in the engineering cycle
The first cycle welcomes around sixty science graduates. Directly oriented towards the techniques and practices of construction, it differs from schools with traditional integrated preparatory classes with a scientific focus. The second cycle continues this course with the integration of other students holding a minimum Bac+2 diploma, in initial training under student status or by apprenticeship. This 3-year cycle is mainly structured around the teaching of technological subjects, management and communication and fundamental internships. The courses validate the acquisition of a complete set of knowledge. Internships or work study programs in a company reinforce the operational approach to training, which adds value to graduates. Progression to the next year is validated by continuous assessment, and takes into account all the results obtained during the school year. The subjects are grouped into teaching units (U.E) for each year of the course. The distribution and the number of teaching units vary according to the years of study. Each U.E validated at the end of the semester at the school allows the allocation of ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System)
| VALIDATION OF ACQUIRED EXPERIENCE
ESITC Paris also has a system of VAE (Validation of Acquired Experience). Thanks to individualized support, the constitution of a file and the passage in front of a Jury, this process is open to employees, makes it possible to validate the professional knowledge acquired and to obtain all or part of the engineering diploma. Graduation is not automatic, it goes through a process defined by law
