WHO ARE WE ?
The Ecole nationale
supérieure des Mines
of Saint Etienne is an
Institute of Science and
Technology, dedicated to
educating highly qualified
engineers and managers
for industry.
The institute comprises six research centers
dedicated to applied research and closely linked to the
corporate world. Historically founded as a “School of
Mines” in 1816, our graduate-level programs
of Masters and PhDs now encompass most major engineering fields such as:

4TH YEAR
PROFESSIONNAL
INTERSHIP
Duration: 16 to 21 weeks
4th year students have a solid background in
fundamental and engineering sciences, and can be
helpful in a variety of problem-solving situations
which are listed below as examples.
Extended periods of industrial experience are an
essential component of the Master in Science and executive engineering program and closely supervised and
assessed by faculty members and industrial partners.
Altogether, 11 months of industrial practice are
required and as of 2006, a 4-month international
experience is mandatory.
This brochure will give you a brief overview of how
our students could be useful to your company.
FINAL YEAR
PROJECTS
Duration: 16 to 26 weeks
Final projects are often equivalent to first
entry-level jobs. Students can be in charge of a
whole project (under the supervision of a senior
engineer).
