ParisTech launches its 2022 recruitment campaign extended to the whole world

The beginning of spring coincides each year with the preparation of the recruitment campaign for international students in ParisTech schools. Indeed each year, the ParisTech schools - AgroParisTech, Arts et Métiers, Chimie ParisTech - PSL, École des Ponts ParisTech, ESPCI Paris - PSL, Institut d'Optique, Mines Paris - PSL - recruit dozens of international students who enter the second year of the engineering cycle.

The graduate engineering schools, which support major French companies in their international development, have long been training many international students. The member schools of the ParisTech network have organized themselves to recruit students in emerging countries, first in China since 2000, then in Brazil, Russia, Colombia and Argentina.

In 2021, the schools have opened the ParisTech International Admission Program to bachelor students in several new regions and countries in Asia. In 2022, the schools are opening the program to bachelor students from all over the world in order to diversify the profile of the international students they welcome and give students from all continents the opportunity to study engineering in the French way and start an international career. Students from ParisTech partner universities - except from Russian universities, in accordance with government instructions - have the opportunity to enter a double degree program; Russian students will be able to apply as individuals.

Capitalizing on the digital experience of the last two years, ParisTech schools are launching a digital promotion campaign again this year, particularly in countries where ParisTech has partner universities, but also more widely. This campaign will take place on social networks and webinars are organised. But the schools are also returning to their partner countries, starting with Brazil and Argentina. It is important to renew partnerships after two years of forced absence. The delegation of schools will hold information meetings with interested students and will meet with the faculties and departments of science and engineering of the universities visited.

ParisTech traditionally opens the application platform on June 1. International students must submit their applications by September 21 at the latest. Then comes the admission process itself with an online scientific test, an interview, and even scientific interviews. More and more international students are expected to enter the schools in September 2023.
