Wonderful Days of Sharing at the Open House Events
Icam
31 Mar 2025
The Icam teams were highly engaged from November 2024 to March 2025 for the Open House events, a crucial occasion for young students making their educational choices and for the Icam recruitment process. Meetings and discussions are at the heart of our commitment, guided by the school’s long-standing philosophy: “choosing Icam and being chosen by Icam.” In a word: human connection !
Welcomed by students, teachers, alumni, and Icam staff, prospective students and their families had the opportunity to explore the school, its unique pedagogy, its international reach, and its diverse programs. Icam fosters an environment where innovation, boldness, creativity, and teamwork thrive daily.
Team Mobilization Across Campuses
During these Open House events, visitors were able to tour the campuses and explore key facilities such as classrooms, hands-on training spaces, research platforms, dining areas, student residences, student life hubs, and the Student Union (BDE). It was also a great opportunity to meet and exchange with current students, who shared their experiences and the scientific and human adventure they are living at Icam.
Open House in numbers :
– Western campuses (Brittany, Nantes, Vendée): 1,159 high school students and applicants met;
– Grand Paris Sud campus : 415 high school students met;
– Lille campus : 1,079 high school students met;
– Strasbourg-Europe campus : 164 high school students met;

And more than 600 people expected on April 10, 2025, at the Pointe-Noire campus !
A Recruitment Process Focused on People
These Open House events play a crucial role in helping students explore engineering careers and understand the Icam admissions process.
Admission to Icam is based on an application via Parcoursup or an entrance exam for our Central African campuses, followed by two individual interviews. These interviews are more of a discussion, guided by the philosophy: “choosing Icam and being chosen by Icam.” The focus is on matching each student’s profile with Icam’s values, which emphasize not only academic skills but also human and extracurricular engagement.
It is also possible to join Icam at Bac+2/Bac+3 (second or third year of university)! The recruitment process is currently underway, with the transition from the first phase, “Choosing,” to the second phase, “Being Chosen,” and interviews taking place from March 24 to April 10.
Every year, across our 13 campuses in Lille, Grand Paris Sud, Nantes, Brittany, Vendée, Toulouse, Strasbourg-Europe, Pointe-Noire (Congo), Douala (Cameroon), Kinshasa (DRC), Chennai (India), Recife (Brazil), and Quito (Ecuador), nearly 10,000 students embark on a unique experience at Icam!
