Programmes Become an EIGSI general engineer

Being an EIGSI general engineer means creating synergies and bridges between the different functions of a company, while bringing your expertise in ecological transition and innovation. EIGSI engineers are agile, versatile and responsible, and fit perfectly into environments with multiple challenges.

The EIGSI general engineering programme lasts 5 years. The first 2 years (the preparatory cycle) form a general common core: a broad scientific foundation (algebra, systems mechanics, thermodynamics, control engineering, industrial computing) combined with human and organisational sciences (project management, communication, teamwork, leadership).

This versatility prepares you for research and design as well as industrialisation, production and operations, before you choose, at the end of your third year, one of the 9 options that will refine your profile.

Projects, real-life scenarios, internships from the first year up to the final-year project… Through these experiences, you develop real agility: the ability to adapt to changing technical environments without losing sight of the project.

During the engineering cycle (the last 3 years), you will spend a semester taught in English or abroad, with the option of a double degree in France or elsewhere. Your internships get longer as you progress: a technician internship of at least 6 weeks, an assistant engineer internship of at least 12 weeks, then a final-year project of 24 to 26 weeks. In total, you complete between 46 and 56 weeks of internships in companies over the programme, before earning your EIGSI general engineering degree, recognised at Master’s level.

You can also follow the engineering cycle as an apprentice, over two or three years depending on when you join the scheme, with EIGSI’s partner companies. You then become a full employee of your company, wherever it is in France. Another option is the professionalisation contract, which starts in the 5th year for twelve months, from September to September. Apprentice or student, you earn the same degree, with the same choice of options.

Your degree is accredited by the CTI on all three EIGSI campuses, and the school has received many distinctions of excellence, which make it easier to enter the professional world. Thanks also to a network of more than 1,400 partner companies, 96% of EIGSI graduates find a job within 6 months of graduating, in sectors as varied as aerospace, transport, energy, digital technology, health and metallurgy.
