Toulouse INP-ENSIACET: the Toulouse Graduate School of Chemical, Materials, and Industrial Engineering
Inaugurated in 2001 after the merge of two prestigious higher education establishments, Toulouse INP-ENSIACET (A7) is a graduate engineering school which gathers the whole range of specialties in the field of chemical, materials, and industrial engineering. On one campus, 1000 engineering students and PhD candidates - 200 of which are participating in a work-study program in industry - and the 450-strong permanent staff in research centers ensure this continuum of vocations and expertise.
An unique structure in Europe
The name “chemical and technological arts” sums up a transversal vision of the logistical chain of transformation of matter and energy. This innovative approach enables ENSIACET engineers to master the process as a whole, from the conception of the molecule right up to the industrial production line.
Toulouse INP-ENSIACET is a unique hub in Europe in terms of training, research and innovation both by its sheer scale and its coherence and synergy between the scientific fields. Each year, close to 300 graduate engineers from A7 and 50 doctors trained in research centers provide solutions to technological demands, through interdisciplinarity, cater to societal challenges and dynamics of industry and research centers within the given field, which in turn contributes further to the school’s reputation.
Teaching and striving for excellence in chemical and technological arts (A7)
Five majors to establish scientific basics
The vocation of the graduate engineering school is to train engineers with a high scientific and technical level who are eager to thrive in their career in the field of Chemical, materials, and industrial engineering and related services.
A7 awards five majors engineering degrees in engineering in chemistry, engineering materials, chemical engineering, process engineering and industrial engineering which cover three levels:
|
Discovering, imagining materials, products and future energy |
Designing, mastering, optimizing and controlling processes and fabrication units |
Managing and organizing innovation, industry and its processes |
|---|
Five 5th year specialization domains
Through analyzing the professions linked to the specialties we offered it led to us setting up our five 5th year specialization domains in 2017 backed by the research expertise of the research centers and open to students from the 5 majors to encourage interaction between the scientific fields.
Toulouse INP-ENSIACET is a state engineering graduate school with a three-year degree curriculum, overseen by the Ministry of higher education, research and innovation.
Toulouse INP-ENSIACET is one of three founding graduate schools part ofl’Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse.
Diplomas are accredited by the CTI (French Engineering Education Commission) and EUR-ACE® (European Accreditation for Engineering).
Four research centers and two CRITT
There are four research centers (CIRIMAT, LCA, LCC, LGC) and two Centers for innovation and technology transfer (CRITT CATAR, CRITT Processes engineering) which complement teaching activities.
