Histoire de l'EPF

A unique institution

Founded in 1925, as École Polytechnique Féminine, EPF was one of the first engineering schools in France to train women.

It has been co-educational since 1994. Since then and for more than 90 years, EPF - Graduate School of Engineering, Sceaux (in the southern suburbs of Paris), has been preparing its graduates for a changing and more and more globalized world. EPF has educated decision makers in a variety of disciplines in public and private sectors.

It offers a global, generalist, multidisciplinary and multilingual education. EPF graduates not only possess excellent professional skills sought by leading enterprises and recruiters, but, our students benefit from a truly international environment.

Focused on academic excellence, professional training and innovative teaching methods, EPF also plays a pioneering role in the promotion of diversity and equal opportunity in higher education.

EPF’s undergraduate programme, the General Engineering Course Cycle, offers a core curriculum that consolidates students’ fundamental scientific knowledge in mathematics, chemistry, mechanics, IT

EPF Graduate School of Engineering offers 10 Master programmes (Majors) that may lead to the French engineering Master’s degree (Diplôme d’ingénieur) which is fully recognized by the official French Accreditation Board for Engineering (Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur).

“For almost a century, the EPF has been innovating to successfully train engineers capable of facing the challenges of our time.  Today, the challenges of climate, energy, digital technology and public health, to name but a few, are the focus of all our training programs, from bac+3 to bac+8, to fully prepare our graduates to act as responsible men and women, as well as seasoned professionals. 

Joining EPF means joining an engineering school whose courses are built not only on a broad spectrum of high-level scientific, technical and technological teaching, but also on the development of socio-economic, ecological, behavioral and multicultural skills. This global approach, reinforced by ongoing pedagogical innovation led by our pedagogical and digital innovation unit, places our students - the vast majority of whom are engineering students - at the heart of our concerns, with one ultimate objective: to provide them with the keys to success in building and realizing their professional projects.

Joining EPF also means joining a school that has made the diversity of life paths both an asset and an opportunity. We offer a wide choice of courses to support your career plans, while adapting our teaching methods to the diversity of experiences you'll have prior to joining the EPF: special courses for STI2D baccalaureates, apprenticeships, a staggered start to the academic year to enable you to switch to engineering studies during the year... Our various campuses in Paris-Cachan, Troyes, Montpellier and Saint-Nazaire, and our international campus in Dakar, enable us to offer everyone a wide range of possible student experiences.

So do not hesitate, join EPF, an engineering school of human excellence built on the values of innovation, boldness and commitment!”
