a French grande Ecole

MINES ParisTech like other French Grandes Ecoles are devoted to the training of top engineers for industries, services and research. These Schools are relative small structures (about 150 MSc graduates per year, 100 PhD graduates, 200 professors-researchers) focused on top engineering topics. Education, research and business are strongly linked in the academic programmes and research activities. Most of the programmes are designed for graduates students with at least a BSc degree. French Grandes Ecoles can be seen as excellence institute for graduate education and research, among which MINES ParisTech is one of the flagships.

Master in science and Executive Engineering diplme dingnieur

Inspired by the notion of practice and the practical, the training of Mineurs (nickname of our engineering students) is perfectly balanced with 1/3 in engineering sciences, 1/3 in economics and social sciences and 1/3 in projects and practical experience. The students are admitted through a competitive examination, after the classes prparatoires, and are joined, in the graduate 1st year, by externally qualified students from French and foreign universities and the Ecole Polytechnique. They acquire all the skills required for senior positions of responsibility. 84% of them have a job offer before graduation. The Diplme dingnieur is, in France, considered as the most exclusive degree.

Master of science in Energy strategies

Energy procurement was a question of secondary importance until 1974, when it became a central cost factor to be controlled and monitored. With environmental constraints and the liberalisation of markets, it has now turned into a strategic choice and a factor of uncertainty and risk for countries as well as for firms. The Masters in Energy Strategies provides an understanding of energy issues as well as the capacity to define solutions, and choose and implement strategies for energy procurement and management. The objectives are: n To participate in drafting energy policies for their firms or countries. n To succeed at projects involving French firms and institutional players.

advanced Master
The postmaster non doctoral programmes, lasting one year, aim at providing initial or ongoing training, that is to say, high-level training for professional purposes. Each program comprises a series of classes, practicals, laboratory practicals or training periods in the field, visits and lectures, followed by a six-month practical internship, focusing on a problem raised by an employer and usually taking place in a company: English-speaking programmes: n Computational Mechanics (COMPUMECH) n Materials Engineering (MATMEF) n Bioplastics (BIO) n International Environmental Management (EnvIM) n International Energy Management (ALEF) French-speaking programmes: n Environmental Management and Engineering (IGE) n Energy Systems Optimization (OSE) n Gas Engineering and Management (GAZ) n Material Behaviour and Structural Design (COMADIS) n Information Systems Management (MSIT) n Industrial Management and Logistics Systems (MISL) n Renewable Energy (ENR) n Industrial Risk Management (MRI) n Environmental Health Advanced Master (SANTE)
