Our excellent education

The French higher education system is embedded in the European model and is organised in three programmes:  Bachelor, Master and Doctorate.

In France the top qualifications in Engineering or Management are delivered by the Grandes Écoles.

These Grandes Écoles offer courses leading to the diplôme Grande École d’ingénieurs (MSc in engineering).
