Arts et Métiers a new competitive exam: AMBition ingénieur, for admission to the Specialized Engineering Program (PIS) and Grande École Program (PGE) with a BUT, BTS, or Bachelor's degree!
In line with its strategy to train more engineers to meet the challenge of reindustrialization, Arts et Métiers a new opportunity to access its Graduate Program (PGE) and Specialized Engineering Program (PIS), particularly through apprenticeships, with a BUT, BTS, or Bachelor of Arts et Métiers.
According to Laurent Champaney, Managing DirectorArts et Métiers " Arts et Métiers train more people: opening up new avenues for accessing our training programs will enable us to diversify our pool of learners and increase the number of engineering graduates."

There are two written tests (1.5-hour multiple-choice questions) to assess the requirements for admission to the Grande Ecole Program (PGE):
- An engineering science exam common to all original courses , including basic-level questions on mathematics, mechanics, and electricity, electronics, and automation.
- A specialized exam depending on the original field of study: mechanical engineering (GM), including more advanced questions on mechanics, or electrical engineering (GE), including more advanced questions on electricity, electronics, and automation.
The program largely corresponds to the programs of the reference fields, namely that of the BUT GMP for the GM specialty field, and that of the BUT G2EI for the GE specialty field.
Apply in your second year of study and defer your admission!
- You have the option of deferring your admission for one year by taking a gap year. For example, you can apply for the second year of a BUT program and, if you are admitted, complete your BUT and join Arts et Métiers following Arts et Métiers .
