In France, the title of Engineer is equivalent to a Master's level degree and allows students to access Doctoral studies. French engineering schools are internationally renowned for their professional focus, combining engineering and management expertise.

At Bordeaux INP, engineering programmes are designed to reflect scientific and technical advances, in close collaboration with businesses to meet their needs. In addition to acquiring scientific and technical knowledge, students learn about the humanities and develop management skills.
