ESTP ENGINEERING DEGREE | GRANDE ECOLE PROGRAMME
Combining the four specialised engineering diplomas into a single ESTP Grande Ecole Programme (PGE) diploma is an important step in the deployment of the school's strategic project. This programme will be offered from the start of the 2023 academic year on all ESTP campuses (Cachan, Dijon, Orléans and Troyes).
An education rooted in the challenges of the city of tomorrow
ESTP offers a high-level engineering degree recognised by companies as a benchmark in the training of construction and sustainable development managers.
Focused on the challenges of tomorrow's low-carbon construction, infrastructure and urban development, the programme is built around a core curriculum to consolidate scientific knowledge and a personalised educational pathway for each engineering student from the 2nd year onwards.
This diploma ensures immediate professional integration in France and abroad in professions that respond to the complexity of tomorrow's major design, construction and urban transformation projects.
