International experience of future CESI engineers
All of our engineering students complete an internship in a company or laboratory abroad, or spend part of their engineering studies abroad with our academic partners.
On our campuses, the international experience is part of the daily activities through events organized or relayed locally, projects related to intercultural issues, immersive weeks in English, hosting professors from partner institutions…
