The four pillars of the program

Pillar 1. A two-stage program:

1 year to acquire fundamental knowledge: a strong knowledge base in all digital fields and key concepts in management, economics and business management.
2 years for students to build their profile

Pillar 3. International immersion

Changes in engineering professions, roles and settings mean that new graduates must be prepared for the international aspect of their future career. Throughout their career they will be faced with different cultures and ways of thinking.

That is why Télécom SudParis has adopted a globally-minded approach to its academic program to prepare students for the needs and challenges of an international professional environment.

All students study two languages, one of which must be English, and must complete a significant international experience for a 12-week period, either in the form of a professional internship or a study abroad program at one of our partner universities.

Pillar 2. Professional experience

To help them understand the realities of the business world, develop their career plan and gain skills, every student must complete several professional internships over the course of the program:

  • a mandatory « corporate » internship to introduce them to the professional world for a minimum of 4 weeks at the end of the 1st year
  • a mandatory « engineering » internship at a company for a minimum of 24 weeks during the 3rd year.

Pillar 4. Project-based learning

To help our engineers develop an entrepreneurial spirit, projects requiring progressively higher levels of skills are assigned over the course of the 3-year program.

Management and developing teamwork skills (GATE®): Students participate in developing a project and working on all business aspects: managing a team, professional communication, managing deadlines and costs, risk management.

Computer science: Students work with a partner to create a plan to develop an application, with graphic interface for example.
