ECAM-EPMI Graduate School of Engineering

ECAM-EPMI is a Graduate School of General Engineering created by four major industrial groups: EDF, Philips, PSA and Schneider.

Our primary objective is to produce operational engineers with top-level scientific and managerial skills. We offer courses created to reflect the industry’s needs, thanks to our strong tradition of cooperation.

A member of the prestigious French Conférence des Grandes Ecoles , ECAM-EPMI is accredited to award graduate and Masters-level engineering degrees.

ECAM-EPMI is part of the ECAM network, which brings together four engineering schools covering a large geographic area both in France and abroad. The group boasts over 2,500 students, 6,000 working graduate engineers in France and abroad, 380 lecturers including 120 permanent professors, and 15 teaching and research labs.

The school is also a member of FESIC (Fédération d’écoles supérieures d’ingénieurs et de cadres) which includes 28 management and engineering Grandes Ecoles. Today, it forms the largest network of private French higher education institutions.

FESIC schools are reputed for their high standards in terms of academic excellence, international curriculum, research development, and cooperation with businesses and various higher education institutes.

Brought into being by four renowned industrial groups (EDF, Philips, PSA and Schneider), ECAM-EPMI trains field engineers to an extremely high level of scientific and managerial skill. The courses we offer have been developed to closely meet the needs and challenges of the economy. ECAM-EPMI’s industrial connections are not merely superficial; they are deeply and organically rooted in tradition.

Companies which recruit our graduates appreciate their professionalism, pragmatism and ability to cope with the unexpected. Their general education, based on the trio of science, technology and management, fosters open minds, an engineering culture and personal achievement.

If you study at ECAM-EPMI, you will enjoy a unique opportunity to experience an exciting, crucial period for your future career.

Our goal is to help you live your dream, develop, achieve your potential and fully assert yourself by promoting your individuality and uncovering your talents.

By studying with us, you choose an education that stands out from the rest and promotes operational excellence, project-based learning and group work.

We do not simply train engineers: we train men and women with enormous potential, who are highly valued by companies for their people skills and professional abilities.

ECAM-EPMI is more than just a graduate engineering school ; it is a big family where each individual’s skills contribute to the success of all.

The essence of engineering practice consists in setting and solving often complex problems related to the design, development and use of products, systems and services. To do this, an engineer requires technical, economic, social and human knowledge built on a sound scientific culture.

ECAM-EPMI gives you the means to become a general engineer with a course that covers a broad range of valuable knowledge and skills, and leads to an engineering degree recognized by both the French government and the CTI.

By choosing the General Engineering course at ECAM-EPMI, you will launch yourself into an exciting future in an ever-changing world full of opportunities. Our engineering courses have been designed to ensure that you become an executive with a wide spectrum of skills.

ECAM-EPMI focuses on the « field engineer » profile, which is much in demand with companies. The school’s goal is to maximise your employability by structuring the courses to mirror changes in industry needs and professions as closely as possible.

During the first two years of your engineering course, you will study the core scientific and technical curriculum to a very high level, including science, electrical engineering, computer sciences, automation and management. What you learn is then reinforced by a six-month internship with a company, two industrial projects and a number of seminars on business management.

A cornerstone of any « Arts and Professions » course, projects immerse you in an active learning situation and enable you to draw on your scientific and technological knowledge while learning new things.

Throughout your course, these projects will help you consolidate your technological, management and relationship skills while providing concrete challenges, in the form of projects with companies – meaning that you contribute to the development of technological innovations – or with student associations and extracurricular groups.

The aim of this course is to train highly skilled engineers in the fields of energy, climate and environmental transition engineering.

At the end of this course, you will have a thorough knowledge of eco-development, energy efficiency and environmental management concepts, giving you the skills to propose and implement technological solutions that factor in regulatory, economic and environmental restrictions.

The first two years are based on a core curriculum divided evenly between engineering science and techniques, management and humanities.

This course has been designed in partnership with experts from a number of partner institutions and companies (including EDF, SUEZ, VINCI, ETDE, SERCE, COSTIC and CCI)

During the first year, the focus is on the core sciences and includes some of the general content from the standard course.

The second year is geared towards technological tools and managerial sciences, and introduces technologies relating to the professions targeted by the course.

The final year includes the equivalent of an academic semester devoted to giving you more in-depth knowledge and skills, and to an assignment in a company involving a final year industrial project.

ECAM-EPMI is located in the centre of Cergy-Pontoise, a young, dynamic, friendly town on the edge of Paris. This town is particularly suited to students and young executives.
