Placements and the end of course project

Placements and the end of course project are key moments in the encounter between the working world and the world of active training. Engineering courses are punctuated by three placements and an end of course project.

Scientific placement

 
End of first year - 3 months - April to July
 

The scientific placement is a work experience with a focus on research. As an initiation to the world of research, it exposes you to new working methods: experiment, analysis and evaluation of results, immersion in a research community.

The Placements and Career Guidance Department collect topics designed to be suitable for to first-year students from laboratories and research centres. The selected placement offers, in France and abroad, are presented to students at the start of the calendar year. Students apply directly to French entities, who make their own choices. Applicants for placements abroad are selected by the School on the basis of their motivation and course results.
