February start
Are you a student in the first year of a PASS (Special Medical Studies Access Track) or LAS (Undergraduate Degree with Medical Studies Access Option) programme, a preparatory school, an undergraduate science degree, BUT (University Bachelor of Technology), another engineering school or a higher education institution abroad, and would like to focus on a career in engineering, while building on the knowledge you’ve already acquired?
EPF Engineering School offers you the opportunity to follow an accelerated training course on the Montpellier campus from 26 February, enabling you to join the generalist programme directly in the second year of the following academic year.
An innovative pedagogical approach
The February Start will enable you to acquire the concepts taught at EPF in the 1st year thanks to innovative educational methods: interactive teaching, blended learning (a combination of e-learning and in-person teaching), design offices and mini-projects.
Supervised by the teaching team, you’ll receive personalised support throughout the accelerated preparatory programme.
At the end of the February Start, you’ll join the second year of EPF's generalist degree, preparing you for careers in engineering.
In the fourth year, you will be able to choose your specialisation from among any of the majors run by the School.
