Preparatory Classes

  • What are the differences between the 3 options in the CII program?

    CII, Digital Sciences Option:
    The general CII program is offered in French (except for the semester abroad) or in English. It covers all areas of digital technology: electronics, computer science, signal processing, and robotics. Both the French-speaking and English-speaking CII cohorts consist of students from various countries with a good level of English (students must be able to understand courses taught exclusively in English) and, of course, strong scientific skills.

    CII, Digital Economy and Finance Option:
    This option is open to students with two science specialties or one science specialty (Scientific + non-scientific specialty). Courses are taught in French and include specific courses in economics.

    CII, Data Science Option:
    This option is also open to students with two science specialties or one science specialty (Scientific + non-scientific specialty). The program includes specific training in data sciences, covering aspects such as storage (databases), data manipulation, visualization, interpretation, and artificial intelligence.

    All CII options lead to the same Isep engineering degree, with the same choice between student and apprenticeship status in the engineering cycle, as selected by the student. Classes are conducted in groups of 30 students, with projects completed in teams of 6 students.

    For students experiencing difficulties, support courses are offered in mathematics, physics, and study methodologies.

  • What are the destinations for the semester abroad in the CII program?

    Students can choose from the following destinations: Czech Republic, Finland, Latvia, Wales, South Korea, Belgium, Tunisia, Canada.

    The list of destinations is updated each year.
