Highlights

The Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, also known as Grenoble IT, is located in the picturesque capital of the old Dauphiné region of France. Situated in the heart of the Alps, the city of Grenoble will not disappoint sports and outdoor enthusiasts. The university is in close proximity to dozens of ski resorts and in fact, roughly 30 ski resorts are less than an hour away. Students enjoy discounted ski passes in the winter and trips to the Chartreuse and Vercors national parks for hiking and mountain biking in the summer. For those who love water, nearby mountain lakes also provide wonderful weekend getaways. Grenoble IT is considered one of France's leading engineering training centers and one of Europe's finest technology universities. There are currently more than 5,300 students and 1,100 teaching & research fellows and staff. Each year, more than 1,000 engineering degrees and 500 advanced degrees are awarded. Students choose from eleven different engineering training tracks, ranging from fluids, mechanics and the environment to micro and nanotechnologies. With over 38 research laboratories and partnerships with more than 53 countries, Grenoble IT is committed to basic and applied research, preparing students to be innovative engineers, and increasing the institution's international reach. In recent years, Grenoble IT has played a leading role in two industrial clusters:

- Minalogic, which focuses on micro and nanotechnologies and software and
- Tenerrdis, which focuses on renewable energy. In addition to developing programs in close relationship with industry, Grenoble IT also has a well-developed business promotion policy.

Internships - It may be possible to participate in an internship through this program.
