    • teaching based on an open and learner-centered pedagogy
    • strong and structured ties to economic sectors
    • widely recognized research activities
    • a considerable number of activities on an international scale
    • a wide range of career prospects for graduates

In the words of Eric Durieux, ESIGELEC’s Managing Director, “ESIGELEC has defined a development strategy based on strong local involvement, visibility on a national level and a significant presence abroad. Our association with the Groupe des Ecoles des Mines will contribute to strengthening our position long-term as a top general engineering school, among the leaders on the French market. It is an acknowledgement of the quality of our graduates, teaching, research and international influence as well as of our interaction with companies, our role in economic development, and our social outreach activities.”
