Please note that your selection by Arts et Métiers is not guaranteed.

When is the application deadline for the exchange programme or double degree programme?

The nomination and application deadlines are indicated on our website.

I am a student with a specific situation (disability, high-level athlete etc). Can my situation be taken into account?

If you are in a specific situation, please contact us as soon as possible without waiting for the closing date for applications.

Is it possible to apply for an academic exchange semester abroad while I am admitted as a double-degree student?

No, it is not possible.

I am applying for a double degree in engineering. Which French language certificates are accepted?

If you are coming as part of a double degree, you must present one of the following certificates at registration:

  • a DELF B2,
  • a TCF 5 competences (including written and oral comprehension, written and oral expression) certifying a B2 level,
  • a TEF 4 competences (including written and oral comprehension, written and oral expression) certifying a B2 level.acad

As an exception for candidates who are unable to take the required tests (e.g. due to the closure of examination centres because of a pandemic), Arts et Métiers may provide a non-certifying internal language test.

In this case, during their study period in France, students must pass a DELF B2 test and give the score results to Arts et Métiers, before graduation.

This obligation does not apply to students from French-speaking countries (e.g. Morocco and Tunisia).

For students who have been admitted to Arts et Métiers

Where can I find the academic calendar? When am I supposed to join the school?

Each training programme has specific start dates, courses and exams. These will be communicated to you on your admission letter and by the international relations office of your campus, once your application has been accepted.

Does Arts et Métiers guarantee me accommodation and can I get an accommodation certificate for the visa application?

No. The school cannot provide you with this type of document. The international relations office on each campus is available to help you find accommodation in France. We cannot ensure that you will get a room in a student residence.

I have been selected for a programme at Arts et Métiers. How can I register?

You will receive a link to complete your registration directly online.

Can I get health insurance as a student in France?

Health insurance is mandatory during your studies at Arts et Métiers. As soon as you receive your certificate of enrollment from the Registration Office in your Arts et Métiers campus, you can take out a health insurance policy with the Caisse primaire d’assurance maladie.

EU/EEA citizens holders of a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) are exempt from taking out this health insurance. A copy of their EHIC, valid for at least the 1st year of study at Arts et Métiers, must be provided the registration day.

Important: the French Social Security and the EHIC only entitle you to 60-70% reimbursement of medical expenses, on average, under the French Social Security scheme.

So, it is highly recommended to take out additional insurance coverage, called “complémentaire santé”. This additional coverage is not compulsory but it will make up for all or part of the expenses not covered by the French Social Security. You can sign up with a "mutuelle" or an insurance company.

THE PROJECT

Addive Manufacturing (AM) technologies are now widely spread in our industries. One of the critical issues for companies, however, lies in hiring expert staff with a comprehensive knowledge of AM processes. CAPT’N’SEE is a training program dedicated to professionals willing to enhance their expertise in the use of these technologies. Two core steps of the AM value chain that have been so far neglected will more particularly be addressed: the AM early design stages and, in the shopfloor, the Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) stage which allow real-me control of processed parts.

Building on the expertise of its consortium members, gathering experienced industrial and academic partners, the project will initiate a dynamic shift in the way to work, leading to more creative, flexible, and smart AM. Therefore, one of the targeted sector will be the luxury industry, which is in strong growth and where high value-added productions require enhanced creativity and high precision.

This activity has received funding from the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). This body of the European Union receives support from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

OUR NETWORK

As Europe seeks to retain its pivotal position in industrial competitiveness, there is an urgent need to establish efficient programmes for professionals who wish to maximize their knowledge of additive manufacturing.

CAPT’N’SEE will tackle this challenge and offer access to a unique training programme. A novel approach will address two core steps of the AM value chair that have been neglected so far: the AM early design stages and, in the shopfloor, the Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) stage which allow real-me control of processed parts.

The CAPT’N’SEE network associates 2 renowned academic partners: Arts & Metiers Institute of Technology (France), Politecnico di Torino (Italy) and one skillful industrial, AddUp (France):

  • Politecnico di Torino (www.polito.it) was founded in 1906 and has its roots in the Technical School for Engineers created in 1859.  It is internationally ranked among the most important universities in Europe for engineering and architecture studies, with 36,000 students (out of which 18% are international students coming from  over 100 different countries). Politecnico is a center of excellence for education and research in engineering, architecture, design and planning and it works in close cooperation with the socio-economic system. It is a comprehensive Research University where education and research complement each other and create synergies  in order to address the needs of the economic system, of the local community and, above all, of its students. Politecnico is committed to a strong internationalization process of its teaching, research and technology transfer activities:  not only does it work in cooperation with the best universities and research centers in world, but  it has also been signing agreements and contracts with important international corporations,  as well as local businesses, meaning to be for  the latter a focal point for innovation.
     
  • AddUp is a joint-venture born in 2016 from two major French industrial groups: Michelin and Fives. With this strong industrial heritage, AddUp develops additive metallic manufacturing solutions for industrials and supports them throughout their projects with a services offer for a profitable experience. The passion for progress and innovation leads AddUp to engage with industrial partnerships as well as with academic and institutional partners, in Europe and all over the world.

All partners benefit from an environment rich in innovation and entrepreneurship, gathering incubators, national and European technological clusters and platforms. This environment of scientific and technological innovation is in permanent contact with startups and SMEs, thereby providing the excellence and complementarity required to anticipate the new challenges of European manufacturing.
