The Graduate School: central to École Polytechnique's strategy
The École Polytechnique is planning to create a continuum between the engineering, masters and doctoral courses.
The 3rd year, which is closely linked to the 4th year, is particularly important in that it provides a link to the master's program. This Master 1 year marks the start of the Graduate School, the central pillar of École Polytechnique's strategy.
It is open to the best external students joining the 3rd year of the engineering course and guarantees both the quality and uniqueness of the future Master 2 and doctoral students.
From the 4th year, a number of joint accreditation partnerships with other establishments allow students who have not followed the Polytechnic program to join the École.
Such integration is based on a demand for quality, which is required to achieve The École Polytechnique's objective of offering a clearly understood, internationally recognised course.
The Master 2 students make considerable use of The École Polytechnique's Research Centre.

>>> PROGRAM LEVEL MASTER
École Polytechnique masters programs are graduated, high-level courses in the fields of science and technology, engineering science, economics and management and sustainable development. They are open to the best European and international students who have at least a first university degree or bachelor degree, and to students who have completed an engineering program.
