After Bordeaux, Châlons-en-Champagne, and Angers, it is now the turn of the Lille campus to offer a Bachelor's degree program. Presentation.
According to Stéphane Clenet, director of the campus, one of the main benefits of opening the Bachelor's program in Lille is to assert the position of Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers a major player at the regional level, both with industry and academic partners. This program responds to a real need expressed by manufacturers in the Hauts-de-France region who wish to recruit for middle management positions.
This curriculum was developed in partnership with three high schools in the region: Lycée Malraux in Béthune, Lycée du Hainaut in Valenciennes, and Lycée Baggio in Lille. The General Inspectorate of National Education and the local education authority worked closely together to set it up. Bernard Charat, design teacher, and Bruno Trinel, deputy campus director, successfully led this project for Arts et Métiers.
In 2016-2017, the Lille Bachelor's program will welcome 24 students in their first year and 12 in their second transition year. These students were recruited from the Industrial Product Design (CPI) higher technician program based on their applications and interviews. During their first two years of BTS, students will take additional courses, including 72 hours atArts et Métiers. They will carry out a "Bachelor's Challenge" project leading to the manufacture of a product and will benefit from tutoring by engineering students from the institution. The third year will be spent alternating between school and work, with approximately 400 hours of classes. The first class will begin on November 23.
