Introduction
Objectives
An engineer at Polytech Nantes specialising in Civil engineering (GC) is a general engineer who has a solid understanding of the fields of construction and regional planning.
The skills specific to the Civil engineering specialty are as follows:
- Designing and sizing constructed works made of reinforced concrete, steel or wood.
- General contracting (from the planning permission to the construction of the structure): guiding the client in the choice of materials and systems to implement.
- Developing and implementing functional, sustainable and energy efficient structures.
- Construction site management (from preparation to reception): managing the execution of construction work, ensuring the financial management and the management of the teams.
- Addressing issues related to the development of public spaces, the quality of life and the environment, and the treatment of urban waste.
- Managing networks (for example: the transport of drinking water) and issues related to urban travel, urban planning, HEQ.

Admission process for French speaking students
French speaking students can apply directly on polytech-admission.org with a foreign scientific diploma and obtain a French engineering degree (Master’s degree in engineering). Selected students follow courses with fellow French students. Depending on the country where applicants are studying, they may be required to follow the “Etudes en France” studies & visa application process.
Admission process for non-french speaking students in Polytech partner universities
Initiated by the AVOSTTI Project, the Polytech Group has developed a 2 phase programme allowing students to start scientific/technological studies and French learning in their country and then to follow their engineering studies in France in one of its 15 engineering faculties. Current active partners are located in China : Ocean University of China (OUC) of Qingdao, South China University of Technology (SCUT - Guangzhou), Xidian University of Xi’an, etc.
Admission process for non-french speaking students from other universities
Several Polytech engineering faculties have developed bridging program (n+i, Polytech Mundus) allowing non-French speaking students (with a scientific Bachelor’s level) to gain French fluency and thus follow French engineering studies. The programme consists in a first year of intensive courses in French language and French scientific culture (with a scientific/technology major such as mechanics, computer science, electronics…) and 2 years of engineering studies among fellow French students.
