Icam is offering a staggered start to the academic year for its “International Bachelor” preparatory cycle. This initiative, implemented on the Grand Paris Sud and Nantes campuses, offers a unique opportunity for baccalaureate holders to join a leading engineering program during the course of the year, and therefore after the start of the traditional academic year.

Cette rentrée décalée, prévue pour le 13 janvier 2025, s’adresse aux élèves titulaires d’un bac technologique STI2D, STL ou d’un bac général avec au moins 1 spécialité scientifique (maths ou physique), obtenu en 2023 ou 2024, qu’ils soient ou non inscrits actuellement dans un cursus post-bac.

It paves the way for Icam’s general engineering cycles, which are accessible through student status or en apprenticeships.

The originality of this program lies in its inclusive approach: it welcomes students already enrolled in a post-baccalaureate course as well as those looking for a change of direction, so as not to lose a year.

With 20 places available (10 per campus), this initiative represents a real second chance for students wishing to embark on an engineering career.

Applications are open from November 4 to January 6, directly from Icam on this link.

The students selected will benefit from two weeks of intensive preparation, enabling them to integrate smoothly into the current intake and not lose a year.

This move by Icam demonstrates its commitment to making academic excellence accessible to a wider range of students, while meeting the growing need for qualified engineers on the job market.
