Introduction
The objective of the Process and Bioprocess Engineering (GPB) specialty is to develop general skills as well as scientific, human and economic techniques covering all the fields related to the transformation of the material into finished end-use products.
This specialty also enables the students to understand issues, to design, to innovate, to install but also to exploit and maintain processes and bioprocesses in all their diversities.Highlights
With a large part of human and economic sciences, this training allows the student to conduct studies, manage and carry out businesses, organise the intervention of various internal and external partners, ensure quality and guarantee achievements in line with normative and regulatory commitments.
- Mastering all fields related to the transformation of the material into end-use products, while taking into account the energy cost and respecting the environmental constraints.
- Designing, innovating, implementing, sizing but also exploiting processes and bio-processes in very different industrial fields.
- Managing and leading projects in cooperation with internal and external partners, ensuring the quality of (bio) productions and guaranteeing their effectiveness.

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.

Application
Application procedure
Admission to initial training with student status is common to all schools in the Polytech network. This is a unique and valid application for all 15 schools, regardless of your academic background.
