Automotive Engineering for Sustainable Mobility

Set up near the French Nevers/Magny-Cours F1 circuit (2 hour drive from Paris), the student/future automotive engineer will work on innovative projects with the motorsport SMEs & major automotive manufacturing companies, consultant organisations as well as suppliers. Additionally, other career opportunities may be found as academic researchers in automotive engineering education thanks to a close network of 4 Research Centres and 2 public-private research laboratories.

Located in a large and open campus, Polytech'Orléans (one hour drive from Paris) is an engineering faculty and engineering school that provides an extensive range of courses at degree and postgraduate level in the areas of engineering and technology. Polytech'Orléans is thoroughly involved in automotive research topics such as new engine concepts, energy management, aerodynamics in partnership with leading car manufacturers and suppliers.
