EPF Ecole d'ingénieurs

The best example of our international cooperation is our international double degree programmes with partners abroad. These double programmes involve coursework on two different sites, alternating according to the year, that lead to an engineering degree from EPF and a top-level foreign degree.

A double degree programme with Germany starting in the first year: the French-German programme

The French-German programme with the Munich Hochschule (HM) is the only double degree programme accredited by CTI. It leads to a French engineering degree and a German Master's in engineering.

Students make their decision to enrol in this production and automation programme from the beginning of their first year at EPF.
Each class has around 30 students, half French and half German.
After spending their first year in their home school and taking intensive language courses, students spend their 2nd and 4th academic years at HM and their 3rd and 5th years at EPF.
Students perform internships in both countries.
Mobility aid scholarships are available from the Université Franco-Allemande.
Throughout the programme, students learn to be mobile, which makes graduates feel at ease in France, Germany or anywhere in the world, managing and organising projects in large industrial groups and innovative companies.

EPF offers different double-degree curricula which offer students of our partner universities the opportunity to earn the EPF engineering degree and EPF students a foreign degree

3rd-year

French-Spanish programme with ICAI, the engineering school at the Universidad Pontificia de Comillas (Madrid)

Students may choose between industrial engineering (Ingeniero Industrial), equivalent to EPF's MMS, ILE, EE and EIE majors, or IT (Ingeniero en Informàtica), equivalent to the MTIC specialization.

Curriculum:

• 3 years in France: 1st, 2nd and 3rd years EPF
• 2 years in Spain: 3rd and 4th year coursework at ICAI
• 1 year in France: Major coursework at EPF then End of Study Project

Return to Spain for the oral defense and the "Revalida" = national oral and written exam required to obtain a Spanish engineering degree.

Foreign languages: Students take Spanish courses and then English courses at I.C.A.I.
Equivalent course credits and grades will be established by EPF and the I.C.A.I.

French-American programme with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach, Florida - USA

SPECIALIZATIONS: AERONAUTICS & MTIC - Information and Communication Technology Management
Bachelor's degree and Master's Degree on top of the EPF degree

Students in this programme go to the US in their 4th year (7th and 8th semesters), and then return to EPF for their 9th semester to work on their major, before going back to the United States for semesters 10 and 11.
Each student's Master's thesis counts as an End of Study Project with an oral defense on-site.

Students may apply in their 3rd year. Selection criteria include their results from their first two years of study and their third year, as well as motivation, maturity and level of English.

Starting in the 4th year

French-Mexican programme with the TEC of MONTERREY - MEXICO

Leads to the MAESTRIA (Master of Science) in addition to the EPF degree. Students may choose any current EPF majors except for aeronautics.
The Master's programme includes specialised coursework and a thesis that counts as the End of Study Project.
Students go to the TEC from semester 9 until they obtain their Maestria, usually for 3 semesters.
The Maestria is given immediately after the EPF degree.

Master's + Maîtrise in IT at Université du Québec in Chicoutimi - Québec

Master's Curriculum: 4 years at EPF + 3 quarters = 1 year at UQAC (2 quarters of coursework + 1 quarter-long internship which may be approved as an ESP equivalent)
At the end of the Master's programme, students may continue their studies on-site to get a full Maîtrise degree..

French-Spanish programme with Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería at the Basque University in Bilbao.

This programme leads to an official Spanish degree in "Ingeniero Industrial" in the following fields: Production - Construction/Public Works- Machine design - Project management - Hydraulic engineering - Nuclear engineering - Thermal energy - Electrical engineering - Limited access: aeronautics
> corresponds to EPF's MMS, IIL, EE and AE Specializations.
Curriculum: 4 years at EPF followed by 3 semesters in Spain.
Coursework in semesters 9 and 10 and ESP internship in semester 11 (no Revalida)
