1 Network n+i engineering institutes Programs of excellence for partner universities Example of Network n+i engineering institutes

2 Introducing Network n+i n+i = National + International A network of 50 postgraduate Engineering Institutes (Grandes Écoles d ingénieurs) Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Centrale-Supélec, ENSEEIHT, Ecole(s) des Mines, INSA(s), Polytech(s), ENSAIA, EIVP, ENSMM, ENSEA, ESIEE, ENSIL, ESTP, EISTI, Located in more than 40 French cities Paris, Toulouse, Nancy, Bordeaux, Nantes, Lille, Strasbourg, Limoges, Clermont- Ferrand, Rennes, Pau, Covering all fields of engineering Energy, Building, Computer, Materials, Industrial, Electronics, Agriculture, Environment, Food sciences, Civil Engineering, Telecommunications, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Information Technologies, Nanotechnologies,...

4 Figures of Network n+i 18 years of experience postgraduates students from 80 countries since 1998 (China, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Colombia, Egypt,...) 35% of students are women Cooperation agreements signed with 70 top universities in the world (Asia Pacific University APU Malaysia, IT Bandung Indonesia, DTU India, NTU Taiwan, Cardiff University UK, Universidad Ciudad Juarez Mexico,...) Partnerships with many companies: Total, Tullow Oil, Freyssinet, Technip,... In 2014, in France, more than 90% of students in Engineering had employment offers before graduation The average salary for the first job in France for an engineer is gross per year (+15 to 20% if international experience)

5 Objective of Network n+i Objective: to train international engineers with global aspirations High-potential students who began their studies in their own country Trained in a top institute of science and technology in France Fluent in English, in French and in the native language Exposure to different cultures, creative and open-minded Ready for the professional world or for a PhD, ready for high ambitions 1 free single application to 50 French engineering institutes 3 integration packages to help students to adapt to the French system of higher education: cultural, linguistic and methodological integration packages

6 Possibilities of cooperation with parter universities International Bachelor/Master Mobility : Memorandum of Understanding Students spend their last 6-12 months of their bachelor or master in France Transfer of ECTS credits to the home university Students obtain their national diploma In case of bachelor mobility, students can stay in France to pursue a master s degree (2 years) Double Master s degree : Memorandum of Agreement ( diplôme d ingénieur or international master) For French and Malaysian post graduate students A 2 year program: 1 year in Malaysia, 1 year in France (or conversely) Possibility of double degree agreements with the master s programs of the 50 engineering schools in France Rendez-vous n+i 14 days to discover French language students/professors/administration of universities and technologies for Tailor made program focused on one specific topic related to engineering, including conferences, visits of companies, industrial sites, laboratories Introduction to the French language, tourism In the cities of Montpellier, Brest and La Réunion Island

7 Programs of excellence for partner universities International Bachelor Mobility = bachelor + masters degrees This program allows outstanding undergraduate Chinese science and engineering students to obtain in 5 years after high school graduation both a Chinese Bachelor s degree (BenKe) and a French Master s degree by completing their training in China and France For students from two partner universities China : SouthEast University (SEU) and University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) Enrolled in a bachelor in engineering in their university : a 4 year program After 3 years in China, students go for a 2 year mobility in France. o After 1 year in France: obtain the Chinese bachelor degree o After 2 years in France : obtain the French master degree Scholarship from China Scholarship Council (CSC) for the 1 st year in France

8 Programs of excellence for partner universities International Bachelor Mobility = bachelor + masters degrees Requirements : To be an excellent student: GPA 3.5/4 or 80/100 To be fluent in English (B2) and French (B1) Chinese bachelor degree French master degree China China China France France Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4 Y5

9 Programs of excellence for partner universities Pre-doc program A 5 month training in France to find the most appropriate laboratory for the PhD in France. Dedicated to students and professors of partner universities 1 month: o welcome in Paris, cultural and touristic visits, introduction to the French language o Seminars on the job of researcher in applied research: intellectual property, patents, cybercrime, management of research funding, ethics and research, 4 months: research in a French laboratory o Administrative registration at the school Ecole des Arts et Métiers in Paris o Research internship in a laboratory of a school member of Network n+i to prepare oneself to the Phd in France: to meet with research teams, to discuss research subjects and possible thesis projects, to discover the environment of the future everyday life

10 Programs of excellence for partner universities Pre-doc program Goals and outcomes: o To allow the PhD candidate to estimate the research and thesis work that will be asked during the PhD and to discover the environment in France (accommodation, children education, culture, tourism, ) o To acquire skills needed for the management of research projects, useful to the future leaders of applied research programs o To allow the thesis supervisor and the research team to estimate the scientific skills of the candidate, as well as his adaptability to a new environment and to the laboratory approach to work o Transfer of 30 ECTS credits o Registration in a doctorate in France
