This is the name of the school's preparatory cycle. Polytech Engineering School career paths

The integrated preparatory program is a 2-year preparatory cycle that prepares students for the engineering cycle. Assessments are based on continuous assessment.
Students follow both theoretical and practical courses, as well as tutorials. They are trained in the engineering profession from the 1st year, and have a foothold in the corporate world with a compulsory 4-week internship.
Students who have successfully completed the two-year preparatory cycle have automatic access to a school in the Polytech network.

A CPGE prepares you for the competitive entrance exams to the grandes écoles.

Yes, validation of the PeiP enables you to apply for nearly 100 engineering specialties offered by the 15 Polytech schools.

Validation of the PeiP preparatory cycle enables :

  • Direct and automatic access to a Polytech Network school
  • Obtaining the L2 level for PeiP-A
  • Obtaining a DUT for PeiP-D

No, it's not possible to repeat a year. However, double enrolment in a bachelor's degree (PeiP A) or DUT (PeiP D) enables you to continue in these courses and then apply for the competitive entrance examination to join the engineering cycle of the Polytech network.

Our courses are not offered by distance learning.
Our digital teaching platform is only available to students at academics .
In addition to supporting academics, it offers our students the means to self-assess, deepen their knowledge and self-train independently.

 

  • Regardless of specialization: 40 hours of English per semester. There is no selection process at academics , but a B2 level (TOEIC 785) is required for graduation.
  • If you pass the TOEIC test at the end of3rd or4th year, you must take a2nd foreign language the following year, reducing the number of hours in English by the same amount.

Tuition fees

Polytech Annecy-Chambery is a public engineering school.

Fees for scholarship and non-scholarship students are detailed on the tuition fees page.

In 2020, students from outside the European Community benefited from a partial exemption. They paid the same tuition fees as students from the European Community (€601 for PeiP and Engineering courses and €243 for Master's courses). It is highly likely that this arrangement will be renewed for the 2021/2022 academic year. Information will be available on our website as soon as it becomes available.
