EIGSI La Rochelle Engineering School

EIGSI, Engineering School, has a rich history dating back more than 110 years, combining academics, tradition, innovation and human adventure. Founded in 1901 in Paris, EIGSI is one of France’s oldest private engineering schools.  Since its foundation, it has graduated more than 7800 engineers.

EIGSI La Rochelle offers study programmes which develop cross-cutting expertise to train general system engineers. Thus, in addition to focusing on knowledge, expertise and people skills, we also teach students to engage in relational leadership. The courses offered have several training goals, in particular:

• the acquisition of a wide range of multi-disciplinary scientific skills,
• the development of managerial and people skills,
• knowledge and learning of industrial practices,
• international openness and a spirit of innovation.

The school’s missions cover three dimensions: training, research and innovation, which may be represented as a triangle, or as two foundations, with research and innovation contributing to reinforcing the excellence of engineer training. Research and innovation have several beneficial effects: they guarantee the standard of knowledge transmitted to students by the research professors who find themselves up against the very best international standards in their discipline. Also, they offer students excellent training grounds.

The primary objective of EIGSI La Rochelle is to prepare engineering students for successful entry into the professional world and ensure that they have the skills and experience that will make them highly employable.

EIGSI engineers can design and implement complex systems that require cutting edge skills. Knowledge, expertise and people skills are all hallmarks of EIGSI engineers.

EIGSI engineers have a wide range of skills and high-level scientific knowledge. They are prepared for a wide variety of jobs in all sectors.
