For master’s programs, Ph.D.’s, and continuing education (including Specialized Master’s Degrees), they must follow the same procedures as other students, which depend on their chosen program.
A specific procedure applies to international students seeking entry to the engineering curriculum.
Specific Admissions Procedure – Engineering Program
To enter the first year of the engineering program, students must take a common competitive entrance exam which requires having completed one’s studies in France.
A specific procedure, the DE competitive entrance exam, gives international students direct access to the second year. It is open to international students who have completed predominantly scientific studies at a level equivalent to the first year of master’s studies, or who are currently completing them. It is also open to international students who have earned French or international qualifications or degrees deemed to be equivalent by the examination committee. Only applications showing evidence of academic excellence will be selected by the examination committee.
There are several admissions pathways for this competitive entrance examination:
Created in the early 2000s, the ParisTech International Admission Program aims to offer brilliant international students the opportunity to attend a top French engineering school and prepare for the Titre d’Ingénieur, an internationally recognized master’s degree.
