1. Cesi : Higher education and vocational training
Combined Work-Study Training Programme
Ei.cesi deliver degrees in the area
of engineering and is recognised as
the leader in France of combined
work-study training programmes.
It has now reached the 1st rank in
terms of the number of students
with over 1,000 apprentices joining
one of the 13 ei.cesi campuses every
year.
In 2012, nearly 4,170 people enrolled
at ei.cesi, with 2,254 new in-coming
students (1,210 students in the
engineering programme and 817 in-
coming students for the MS labels)
Approximately 2,000 companies
have become partners of the school
to train their future managers. The
teaching body is composed in part
of industrial experts for our partner
companies.
Professionals participate actively in
evaluations and examinations.
Cesi innovative scheme: Combined
work-study training program
Combines theoretical knowledge
and hands-on experience
All students alternate full-time
periods of study with full-time
periods of work
Two supervisors: one at school and
one in the company
Cesi's strengths
Regular meetings between the
student and the supervisors
(supervision, objectives and
assessments)
Credits are acquired through
courses, projects at school and
work and in-company missions.
ENTRY REQUIReMENTS FOR CANDIDATES

INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION
Aspartoftheir training, all studentsare requiredto spendaperiod abroad.
The aim of this work placement is to enhance their engineering expertise
and develop new skills. It allows them to be in full immersion in a foreign
language, culture and work environment.
Degree
InFrance,engineeringstudiesareprizedandleadtoanengineeringdegree,
which is a European Master’s degree obtained with 300 ECTS credits in
conformity with international agreements, or a Master of Engineering (US).
Engineering degrees are regulated by the official certification body-CTI-or
French accreditation board for engineering degrees
n EI.CESIoffers4engineeringdegrees: Cesi General Engineering degree,
Cesi Civil Engineering degree, Cesi Embedded Electronic and Electric
Systems engineering degree and Cesi Industrial engineering degree.
Theindividualtrainingplan
This project is a way for students to develop their professional objectives and
evaluate their personal, academic or industrial needs accordingly. It encou-
rages trainees to define the job they would like to do after graduating and
help them to design a career plan.
A methodological tool, Viacesi, is provided by the school and used by the
students to structure this work (e-portfolio).

AFrenchengineeringdegreeindicatesthatastudenthasobtainedinitialhigh-levelscientific
and technical training provided by a high-quality educational establishment. In addition
to this basic training, the engineering degree offers training in humanities, knowledge of
corporate affairs (labour law, legislation, etc.), ability to become fluent in a foreign language,
industrial internships, etc.
This French engineering degree prepares students for project and team management
positions (many companies’ chief executives and directors were trained as engineers).
We are specialized in training engineers capable of adapting to evolving situations and
destined to work as managers in all domains, with strong project management skills, for
immediate operational responsibilities.
Cesi offers 4 engineering degrees with the combined work-study training scheme :
What is the CTI accreditation ?
At the worldwide level, CTI is one of the most experienced bodies in charge of evaluation
and accreditation of engineering curricula and institutions. Established by French Law in
1934, its legal missions include also the development of quality in engineering education;
the promotion of engineering curricula and careers in France and abroad. There are
approximately 220 French institutions accredited by CTI, delivering close to 30,000
engineeringmaster’sdegreeseachyear. FullyinvolvedinthedevelopmentoftheEuropean
