Studying in ParisTech graduate schools

ParisTech schools welcome many international students.

International students who come for an exchange semester can access courses that are only in English. Students wishing to take courses in French must have a B1 level, B2 level being strongly recommended.

Science and technology/engineering courses are complemented by other courses or activities for which credits are awarded (e.g. courses in French as a foreign language, finance, economics, project, internship, etc.). 

One semester is equivalent to 30 credits (ECTS).
