Internationalization as a priority
Internationalization is at the heart of CESI’s development strategy and educational values. Our objectives? Offer students a formative multi-cultural experience that will help them open up to the world. All our courses meet European and international standards. The school, which has recently obtained the “Bienvenue en France” label, also holds the ERASMUS+ charter and actively participates within international networks such as Campus France and the CDIO Initiative.
CESI offers various degree programs ranging from high school diploma (bac) to bac +6 or equivalent (Bachelor’s Degree, Engineering Program, Master’s Degree, Executive Post-Graduate Program), designed for international students based on their goals and proficiency in languages and sciences. The school has also implemented a program called “Foundation Years,” which provides three pathways to enter the engineering program.
In addition to these academic courses, five two-week Summer Schools, conducted in English, will be available in July 2025 for for French and international students wishing to have an enriching intercultural experience and engage in projects to help advance the environmental transition and learn about the latest innovations in industry.
CESI has 130 partner universities around the world. These partnerships give our students the opportunity to benefit from significant academic and professional experiences abroad such as academic exchanges, research and company internships, and dual degree programs during the Master’s Degree.
