  • 1st year can be considered on demand. Contact us at international.ense3@grenoble-inp.fr if you are considering this option.

As we are aware that your choice of classes might be limited by regulations from your home university, or language issues, we may allow you to pick one class from another track. However, this option is not recommended as it can create timetable conflicts.

Your choice must include a minimum of 15 ECTS related to engineering and a maximum of 32 ECTS.
 

2. COURSE SCHEDULE


For each program:
  •  each course that belongs to the program has half a day dedicated to lectures
  • one or several half-days are dedicated to practical sessions for all courses: there is a rotation each week
 

3. WHAT IS AM1, AM2, PM1, PM2 etc?


This means that the morning or afternoon is divided into two or three periods. You can therefore take a course that takes place on AM1 and AM2 but you cannot take two courses that take place on AM1 because they will be at the same time.
