International General engineers and global citizens!

Becoming an EIGSI engineer means learning to thrive in an open, interconnected world. With 3 campuses, in La Rochelle, Toulon and Casablanca, and a network of 90 partner universities across five continents, the school builds an international experience into the heart of every student’s programme.

International mobility built into the programme

From the third year of the engineering cycle, the EIGSI programme takes on an international dimension, with a compulsory semester abroad at one of the school’s partner institutions or on the Casablanca campus. The ECTS credits earned during this period count towards the degree.

Many Casablanca students also spend mobility semesters in France, which enriches the intercultural dimension of our campuses.

Students can choose from a wide range of destinations, as EIGSI has 90 partner universities around the world!

A wide choice of double degrees

EIGSI also offers 21 double-degree agreements with renowned universities in France and abroad, allowing students to complement their general engineering degree with a specialised master’s. Among the most popular destinations:

  • Université de Liège in Belgium, for a master’s in architectural engineering
  • Université de Sherbrooke in Canada, for a master’s in aerospace engineering
  • Heriot-Watt University in Scotland and Cranfield University in England, for master’s degrees in robotics and astronautics
  • Or University West in Sweden, for a master’s in robotics and automation

Vincent, an engineering student who spent a semester in Quebec, talks enthusiastically about his experience:

“I wanted something really different, and when it comes to a change of scene, I was more than satisfied! At the Université du Québec, the courses I took complemented our EIGSI options, and I was also able to travel in a cosmopolitan environment, and even see whales and belugas. An incredible experience!”

Casablanca, a pioneering campus with an international outlook

Since 2017, EIGSI has been the only French school authorised by the Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur to award an engineering degree on an international campus: Casablanca. Located in a cosmopolitan, dynamic city that also lies on the ocean, close to the historic centre, EIGSI Casablanca lets students experience the pace of an industrial capital that is home to many national and international companies.

Up to 3 languages, to work anywhere in the world

English is compulsory throughout the programme, with the aim of C1-level certification by graduation. Each student also chooses a second language from German, Spanish, Italian, French as a foreign language, Chinese or Japanese, and can add Arabic or Portuguese as a third language.

This openness is recognised by the Campus France and Erasmus+ labels, which acknowledge the quality of the support the school provides to prepare and secure every departure abroad.
