- 28 graduates from the specialized master's program Expert in renewable energy projects and production and Nuclear safety expert (Class of 2024).
A highlight in campus life
The graduation ceremony is held on campus, in the large machining hall. For some, this meaningful place was where they spent a large part of their practical training in the workshop, but also enjoyed many convivial moments.
This event symbolically marks the end of the academic journey. It is a significant moment for both graduates and their loved ones: the culmination of several years of demanding study. While most of them have entered the professional world after completing their training, others have chosen to continue their studies with a double degree or a doctorate.
It is also a major event for the campus and its partners in specialized engineering training: the campus,the School of Infrastructure and Network Construction, the Regional Federation of Public Works, the IUMM-PACA CFAI-Provence training center, and all of their staff have supported the apprentices for three years.
Graduates and medalists: excellence rewarded
Each of them will take the stage to receive their diploma in person from the campus director, faculty, and staff.
The Grande Ecole Engineering Programme graduates of Grande Ecole Engineering Programme (the top 8 in the final national ranking based on their three years of study) will receive a gold medal!
This applies to one graduate this year in Aix, the campus valedictorian.
Graduates ranked immediately after the gold medalists and among the top 10% of the national rankings will be awarded a silver medal.
This applies to 21 graduates from the classes of 2020 and 2021 this year.
Mobile students attached to their home campus
Each year, Arts et Métiers more than 1,100 engineering students from the Grande Ecole Engineering Programme.
Throughout their studies, students demonstrate a high degree of mobility, both within France and internationally. In fact, depending on their chosen specialization, it is often impossible for them to remain on the same campus for the entire three-year program.
This mobility is encouraged by the diversity of tracks offered in the third year, both in France and abroad. In fact, international experience is mandatory for obtaining the engineering degree.
Despite these relocations, graduates receive their degree on the campus where they began their studies in the first year, rather than at their final place of study. This decision is driven by the strong attachment of students in the Grande École Program to their home campus.
Apprentices in the Specialized Programs, meanwhile, complete their three years of training on the same campus. Although they form strong ties to this location, they divide their time between school and the company, and also spend 12 weeks abroad during their program.
