In an increasingly globalized environment, international experience is an important step in the training of engineers.
Highly sought after by employers, this immersion in a different cultural context brings them many benefits: discovering other working and teaching methods, encountering other ways of creating and innovating, and enriching their knowledge and skills.
With this goal in mind,Arts et Métiers numerous opportunities for international mobility: non-degree study abroad programs lasting one semester or one year; programs leading to a double degree; and internships.
Non-degree study abroad programs
Periods of study completed at the partner institution are recognized as equivalent in the Arts et Métiers curriculum. However, engineering students do not obtain a degree from the host institution. There are two types of programs: one semester or one year. Several dozen universities around the world offer academic stays toArts et Métiers students.
Dual degree study abroad programs
Lasting two to four semesters, dual-degree study abroad programs bring a truly international dimension to engineering education. For interested candidates, it is important to note that certain destinations require linguistic and cultural preparation, as well as assistance in putting together the application. In addition, these programs may involve extending the duration of studies by one to two semesters. At the end of the program, engineering students receive the Arts et Métiers degree Arts et Métiers the degree corresponding to the studies completed at the host university.
There are three options:
Integrated dual degree programs
They are available after the first year at Arts et Métiers see the list
The only exception is the French-German dual degree, which is integrated into the first year at Arts et Métiers
Masters of Science
These courses are equivalent to the third year of engineering studies. Students obtain an Arts et Métiers engineering degree Arts et Métiers a Master of Science from the partner school or institution. Several universities in Australia, the United States, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom are involved. ⇒ See the list
The double master's degree
The school offers a dual master's degree program between France and Sweden:
With the Royal Institute of Technology(Stockholm): the first two years at Arts et Métiers, the third year at the Royal Institute of Technology, and the fourth year in the Knowledge Integration in Mechanical Production research master's program at Arts et Métiers.
Internships
Arts et Métiers close ties with many companies abroad. Internships included in the various engineering programs can therefore be completed internationally.
In order to help Arts et Metiers students, American Friends of Arts et Metiers (AFAM), a non-profit association created in the United States by and for Arts et Métiers students, launched a program in 2010 to help students find internships in the United States: the Shasta program.
Arts et Métiers students can contact AFAM at least six months (or more) before the start of their internship to join this program and receive support from a mentor and the Gadz'arts community in the United States.
