Dear International students and colleagues,

In response to the challenges of a globalized world, CESI Graduate School of Engineering has made the internationalization of its programs and the welcoming of International students one if its major priorities. Not only does CESI offer a broad range of undergraduate, graduate or post-graduate programs that provide French and International students with in-depth knowledge and technological know-how in various areas of Engineering, but CESI has also put in place preparatory programs and Master’s degrees fully taught in English in order to allow International student to successfully integrate and go for the French Engineering Degree.  

At CESI Graduate School of Engineering International students will not only study in a multi-cultural environment and benefit from the expertise of French and International professors and professionnals, but they will also profit from dedidated services to facilitate the arrival and integration of international students : welcome programs, French language and methodology training, buddy programs etc. CESI Graduate School of Engineering is committed to garantee a warm welcome to our International students according the standards set by the strategy of the French Ministery of Foreign Affairs (« Welcome to France ».).
