The year ends with a two-month internship in a laboratory or industry from June to August.
Year 2
In the 2nd year, students focus on a technical discipline with a choice of specialization* from around twenty offered within the engineering program, combined with a professional option, focused on a sector of activity or a particular function. A 6-month internship in industry is then carried out from the beginning of April to the end of September.
*NB: project specializations and doctoral specialization are not available as part of the accelerated program.
French classes:
A one-month intensive summer school in Cavilam is included in the program. This, combined with the teaching of the French language in the first year, helps prepare students to take second year courses taught in French. Obtaining the diploma requires that students obtain at least a B2 level operational certification in French: 750 for the TFI, 450 for the TCF, DALF C1 or equivalent.
Internships:
We offer career guidance to help you find the two internships to complete during the program. The second year internship must be carried out in a company in order to meet the conditions for obtaining the diploma.
