All the 5 schools deliver the same degree, allowing the students to move from one geographical site to another if they wish to. It is also possible to attend classes in a different campus within the school year. The study program is modelled on European engineering schools with integrated undergraduate and graduate studies: three years of integrated undergraduate cycle, then two years of graduate studies, all followed by internship programmes in businesses. However, students can also apply for a paid halftime internship throughout scholar year. Admission requirements are French Baccalaureat S, STI or STL (or their international equivalents), and can also be made during the BAC+1, BAC+2 and BAC+3 levels after further education in [Computer Science](/source/Computer_Science). ==Certificates== The training is validated by a diploma, registered by a national commission within the National Professional Certification Register (RNCP), after the decision of the National Professional Certification Commission ([CNCP](/source/Commission_nationale_de_la_certification_professionnelle)),Commission nationale de la certification professionnelle, [http://www.cncp.gouv.fr/grand-public/visualisationFiche?format=fr&fiche=4510 Certification on the RNCP] at Level I.
