Independent candidate

This section is intended for international applicants who wish to apply for a degree program at the school outside of a university partnership.

Grande Ecole Engineering Programme

Presentation

Arts et Métiers engineers Arts et Métiers par excellence engineers specializing in the design and implementation of products and production systems. Throughout the three years, engineering students build their training program around their professional goals. After the first two years, which focus on experimentation and mastery of technologies, students can specialize in one of the many areas of expertise offered. Graduates work in sectors as varied as automotive, transportation, equipment, chemistry, energy, construction, IT, telecommunications, and services. 

Admission

To be admitted to the Grande Ecole Engineering Programme, international applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree or an engineering degree (or equivalent).

The various admission routes for independent candidates wishing to enroll in the Grande Ecole program are listed below. Each has its own schedule. For more information, please visit the following websites:

• Through an entrance exam, at the two-year college, three-year college, or four-year college level.
• By selection based on application via the N+i Program, with a minimum of a bachelor's degree. (Additional fees may be charged by N+i)

ParisTech and N+I are the recommended routes if the candidate resides abroad. They are primarily intended for non-French-speaking applicants. However, it is not possible to submit an application on both platforms; you must choose one or the other.

Language requirements 

French language level: B2 minimum

Accepted certifications: DELF, DALF, TCF (5 skills) or TEF (4 skills). Regardless of the test taken, it must include assessments for the following skills: reading and listening comprehension, writing and speaking.

The National Master of Science Degree

Presentation

Arts et Métiers Master's degrees in four different fields: mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, energy, and health engineering. This is a national degree equivalent to five years of higher education, which then allows students to pursue doctoral studies and research.

Although a Master of Science two years Master of Science , it is possible to enter the first year and earn the degree in two years, or to enter the second year and earn the degree in one year.

The application process for a national Master of Science program Master of Science Arts et Métiers place exclusively on our online platform. We do not use the Etudes en France platform for the admission phase.
Once you have been admitted to a Master of Science Arts et Métiers our internal process, you will nevertheless need to use Etudes en France for the pre-consular procedures.

Health Engineering Major

The "Health Engineering" program offers several courses, all taught in English. For more information about the program, visit:

• The page dedicated to the mention in Health Engineering
• The Master of Science BioMedical Engineering.

The first year of Master of Science Health Engineering is open to applicants who have completed, or will complete during the year of application, the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree in the field of medical sciences or engineering. Upon successful completion of this first year, students are eligible to advance to the second year of Master of Science the same field.

The second year of Master of Science Health Engineering is open to applicants who have completed, or will complete during the year of application:

• The first year of Master of Science health engineering (or equivalent)
• A Master of Science Health Engineering
• Engineering degree (or equivalent)

Applications for the first or second year are accepted exclusively through the Master of Science Engineering website. They begin in January and end in late May.

Major in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Energy

Doctoral studies 

The doctoral school 432 "Engineering Sciences" brings together a group of research teams and is responsible for organizing and monitoring doctoral student training. It is supported by 15 laboratories, covering four major thematic areas: solid mechanics and materials; fluid mechanics and energy; design and industrialization; mathematics and systems.
