Engineering schools

With its long tradition of excellence in training and research, French engineering evokes the great builders – Philibert le Roy and the Palace of Versailles, Sébastien Vauban and military fortifications, Ferdinand de Lesseps and the Suez canal, Gustave Eiffel and his grand metal structures (including the tower bearing his name), or Auguste Bartholdi and the Statue of Liberty. These inventors and builders have shaped the image of France.

French engineering programs always include the managerial, international, and multidisciplinary aspects of the profession through the study of economics, the humanities and social sciences, communication, and culture. More and more programs are taught in English, proficiency in which is assessed prior to graduation.
