At ISAE-SUPAERO, experiences abroad are an integral part of the curriculum. Whether through academic exchanges, internships, or international projects, they enable our students to deepen their knowledge, discover other cultures, and acquire a detailed understanding of global issues.
International opportunities help to train engineers capable of working in complex, constantly-changing multicultural environments.
Laurent Michel Head of the General Engineer ProgrammeOur International Opportunities
There are several ways to go abroad:
International Exchange Semester
In the 2nd year, our students take part in an international exchange semester at one of our partner universities. This semester is an integral part of the general engineering curriculum, and the courses taken at the host university during this period are recognised by ISAE-SUPAERO.
Double Degree
At the end of the 2nd year, our students have the opportunity to do a double degree in one of our partner universities. Students enrolled in this type of course obtain two diplomas:
- One from ISAE-SUPAERO
- That of the partner university.
The exchange lasts one or two years, depending on the university.
Examples of Double Degrees
KTH (Sweden), TUM (Germany), Georgia Tech (USA), Polytechnique Montréal (Canada), EPFL (Switzerland)
Internships
Our students have the opportunity to do their work placement(s) abroad, in particular the 3rd year end-of-study placement.
I was able to explore new scientific subjects such as robotics, structural dynamics in civil engineering, and artificial intelligence. I've also been able to venture out into the vast, untouched lands of the caribou range!
Mattéo Gouzien Exchange semester - University of Toronto (Canada)
I took a wide variety of courses to explore my interests: the future of energy, medical technology, astrophysics, and marine biology. I chose Singapore to discover a new way of life and a culture I knew nothing about. It was also an opportunity to study at a prestigious university where academic excellence is recognised abroad.
