Foreign universities
More than 75 Engineering Institutes (grandes écoles d’ingénieurs) and university-based engineering programs—including some of the most renowned—have joined together to form the “n+i” Network. Members pool their resources for: Promotion, Recruitment, Selection, Orientation, Assistance, Internships, Training….without restricting the freedom of each institution to set its own admission requirements or engage in interuniversity cooperation.
“n+i” was designed to simplify the application and admission process for international students seeking to study engineering in France—and to make information on international training opportunities available to French students.
We help students identify appropriate programs and put them in touch with schools, companies, and regional authorities that are looking for qualified engineers—as students, interns, trainees, or employees.
Networks allow their members to pool efforts and attain efficiencies of scale. One of those efficiencies is the ability to undertake initiatives and create structures that would not be possible for one institution acting alone. Examples include Web-based recruiting, online applications, distance-education programs to prepare students for study in France, and marketing of postgraduate programs.
Foreign universities and other organizations are encouraged to join the "n+i" network.
The advantages of partnering with "n+i"
In the "n+i" Network foreign universities and other organizations find the following benefits and advantages:

-
Access to the “n+i” Web site, and a direct link to their own site from the Partners page,
-
Opportunities to explore interuniversity agreements for exchange of faculty members and students (double Master’s degrees agreements),
-
Presentation of their institution in the "Members" pages of the “n+i” site,
-
An easy way to find the best laboratory for research cooperative programmes or “co-tutelle” doctorates,
-
An excellent channel of communication with French grandes écoles and their research units
-
Access to the "news" areas of the site.
-
Contacts with French companies operating in their country.
-
