Entry requirements
High school diploma with science (S) specialisation (specialisation in Maths or Physics and Chemistry) or a general high school diploma (the specialisations required are Maths or Physics and Chemistry; Advanced Maths is strongly recommended). We are working to include students with a high school diploma in science and technology for industry and sustainable development. First year: recruitment of high-school students (non-French high-school diploma, Campus France, French baccalaureate).
Benefits of the program
The first year is sufficiently general to allow students to choose a specialisation in one of the Engineering Sciences Licence programmes (or even Physics and Chemistry) at the end of the year. Options are available in the second semester to allow each student to personalise their course. The first year is a transitionary year from high school and teaching methods are adapted accordingly (groups of 30 to 35 students, no whole-year lectures).
Acquired skills
Solid training in general scientific theory, experimentation and digital technologies.
Ability to implement an experimental approach; collect, manage and present results; explain and present a project process, the knowledge concerned and the results obtained verbally and in writing.
Ability to analyse a technical problem and the methods chosen to solve it.
Mastery of mathematical, physics and chemistry tools related to the field of engineering sciences (adapted to each of the three programmes).
Ability to extract information from technical documents, handle units and orders of magnitude and use a range of digital media.
Ability to select and use a suitable program: multiple practical sessions and group projects (working in pairs, multidisciplinary projects, oral assessments, professional culture).
Techniques of expression and oral communication.
English language skills
International
A number of ERASMUS students join the Engineering Sciences Licence in the second and third year.

Your future career
After a joint first year with the Physics and Chemistry Licence course, students continue with the Engineering Sciences Licence degree in the second and third year.
Three programmes are available: Industrial Engineering, Organisational Engineering and Environmental Process Engineering.
Students receive guidance in the first year to help them define their career objectives.
After the third year, most students of the Engineering Sciences Licence continue with a Master’s or enrol at an engineering school.
Careers
Professional integration
Most graduates pursue further study in the same field (Master’s degrees, engineering schools) and then work in a company (large groups or SMEs).
Graduates very quickly find work in the different professions targeted by the course.
Study objectives
The Engineering Sciences Licence is designed to allow each student to build a solid foundation of general knowledge (core modules), complemented by a specialisation. Each student acquires core fundamental knowledge (maths, physics and IT) and more specialised knowledge from the third semester.
The Engineering Sciences Licence is characterised by the diversity and varied backgrounds of its students, but is designed to give its graduates common skills by the end of the third year, including pre-professional, multidisciplinary and linguistic skills, in addition to those specific to their discipline. This enables students to start defining their career objectives.
