EIGSI Choose EIGSI to become an engineer

At EIGSI, every student builds their path at their own pace, supported by a general engineering programme that pays attention to each individual. Our shared ambition is for our students to fulfil their aspirations and give themselves the means to achieve their goals. EIGSI is committed through its Expérience+ label, a supportive ecosystem in which students, staff, alumni and partners form a lively, inspiring and outward-looking network.

Studying at EIGSI means finding:

• Personalised, cross-disciplinary support, all the way to your career plans, to build a path that suits you
• A school that sees itself as a hub open to the future, where you learn through experience, exchange and experimentation
• A place where you can dare, create, push yourself, start a business and invent
• A campus where student wellbeing is a priority, with step-by-step support to find housing, look after your health and build connections
• And a school that encourages you to go further: high-level athletes, committed young people, leaders of social or environmental projects… everyone benefits from tailored arrangements to support their initiatives

Trained on campuses open to maritime and international environments in La Rochelle, Casablanca and Toulon, EIGSI engineers know how to work in multicultural settings and design systems in which disciplines interact. This is why the interfaces between technologies are their preferred field of expertise.

The programme is built around a solid common core and 9 specialisation options that allow each student to deepen their own path, without ever losing the ability to understand and connect the technical, economic and human sides of a company.

>> EIGSI ranks among the best internationally recognised engineering schools in the Eduniversal 2025 ranking, with 3 palms of excellence in the “General engineering” category and 4 palms of excellence in the “AI & IT” category.

Training an engineer today means preparing them for ever-changing social and environmental challenges. At EIGSI, the programme is organised around 4 major contemporary challenges: energy and sustainable construction, higher-performing industry, digital technology and security, and health and quality of life.

This vision takes concrete shape in facilities such as the NumériLab, where students simulate cyberattacks and learn to secure IT infrastructures, or the Learning Factory, a teaching factory that recreates real industrial settings to move from theory to practice.

EIGSI also takes a pragmatic approach to teaching: while committed to renewable energy and sustainable building, it also trains students in conventional techniques, since they will have to deal with both on the ground. This conviction is shared across all EIGSI campuses: La Rochelle, Casablanca and Toulon.

EIGSI general engineers stand out for their professional agility, their culture of cooperation to support transitions, and their ability to take on the challenges of a sometimes uncertain world.

Thinking globally is an integral part of the programme. With a campus in Casablanca accredited by the Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur (CTI) – just like the La Rochelle and Toulon campuses – more than 90 partner universities across five continents and 21 double-degree agreements, EIGSI offers its students a learning ground that goes beyond borders. Several trusted labels confirm this recognised international openness.

Founded in 1901, EIGSI celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2026. Its history includes milestones that have shaped its identity, such as its first female engineering graduate in 1934, the EESPIG label in 2016 recognising its public-interest mission, and, since 2020, its membership of the ISAE group as a partner school, alongside institutions such as ISAE-SUPAERO.
