Entry requirements

The course is open to students under the age of 26 with 2 years' higher education (BAC+2) in line with the training programme : a University Technical Diploma (MEP, PM, MSE), an Advanced Vocational Training Certificate (IPD, MID, TES, IMP, DPAS), a 2-year degree (mechanics, PS, ES), or an equivalent diploma (including ATA preparatory course). Acceptance on the course is final after an apprenticeship contract has been signed and the CFA Ingénieurs 2000 centre will help you find a company from among its 700 partners.

Benefits of the program

This general mechanics course has two options enabling students to hone

their knowledge and develop specific skills in “Design and Production of

Mechanical Systems“ or in "Materials Science and Engineering". Teaching is tailored to the work/study course (teaching by project, flipped classroom, work/study exercises, etc.) used for our engineering pathway and enables

you to acquire sound theoretical and technical skills in mechanical design,

production and materials as well as in subjects related to mechanics. The

course also provides you with cross-functional skills ultimately preparing

you for positions where your global perspective will be an asset.

Acquired skills

Mechanical engineers are trained to assist at every stage in a product's life cycle in fields connected with production, mechanical design and materials. They are therefore capable of drawing up specifications and then choosing, designing, producing and deploying a solution in a digital environment, namely a technological architecture, a material/process combination, a component and its dimensions, geometric specifications linked to functions, etc. They are competent in using mathematical tools and mechanics-related knowledge, enabling them to adapt to any context. They also have cross-functional skills in project and team management.

Registration details

Eligibility is judged by application and by written tests in mathematics, English and French. Prospective students will also be invited for an interview. Acceptance on the course is final after an apprenticeship contract has been signed. Applications must be submitted before 20 March 2016.

Schedule of studies

The alternation between study and work gradually increases over the 3 year course : one month of study followed by one month in the company, then 2 months/2 months and 3 months/3 months in the first year. In the second year, it is 3 months' study/3 months in the company twice. In the third year, it is 6 months' study then 6 months in the company, with this final period providing the opportunity for a large-scale project resulting in the writing of the engineering thesis.

Your future career

Graduates mainly work in the automobile, aviation and space, energy and defence and armaments sectors as well as in general mechanics and manufacturing equipment. They are design, calculation, R&D, materials, methods, production and quality engineers, etc. Over 94% of the 2013 graduates had a job 6 months after graduating and the average gross annual starting salary for 2013 graduates was €33,500.
