ESIEE-Amiens is continually developing partnerships abroad with universities, laboratories, research centres and companies.
 

A practical experience

During their final two years of study, ESIEE-Amiens students are required to carry out two work placements in a company or research laboratory (a placement of 3.5 months in fourth year and a placement of 6 months in fifth year) in order to gain professional experience before entering the job market.

A diversified curriculum

From the 1^st year of the Master's programme, all the students will follow specialised courses in one of the three options offered:

               • Electrical Engineering and Sustainable Development Option

              • Advanced Manufacturing Systems Option

              • Computer Networks and Telecommunication Option

An Industrialists' Association supporting the school

Since the creation of the school, ESIEE-Amiens has always been supported by more and more leading industrial firms.

The members of this Industrialists' Association are actively involved in the development of the School, sharing their knowledge, giving professional advice and welcoming students for their internships.

Industrial representatives are frequent visitors at ESIEE-Amiens, giving the students the benefit of their expertise.

ESIEE-Amiens is a new member of the n+i network, but has welcomed foreign students in its programmes for years.
