General engineering degree
Since 1925, EPF’s General Engineering course has provided future engineers with qualities greatly appreciated in the business world: open-mindedness, cultural mobility, and the ability to adapt to their first job and throughout their career. EPF thus trains general engineers who have a global and cross-disciplinary outlook on their profession, and who can easily adapt to market needs.
EPF's engineering degrees are accredited by the French accreditation board for engineering degrees (Commission des Titres d'Ingénieurs).
Course programme
In choosing EPF’s general engineering course, you are choosing to become a versatile engineer who can adapt to a constantly changing world and to new roles and environments.
After a general curriculum of three years, the EPF course allows you to choose from nine ‘majors’, or Master's degrees, to allow you to build your own career path and develop your skills. Regardless of the campus you join during your undergraduate studies, all students have access to the different majors offered and may therefore be required to change campuses.
Master’s degree
In your fourth year at EPF, you can choose to study the major of your choice, regardless of what campus you studied at for your undergraduate studies.
EPF offers five majors at its Paris-Cachan campus, one in Troyes, two in Montpellier and, from the 2024 academic year, one to come in Saint-Nazaire.
