Polytech Marseille is actively committed to a policy of promoting international-mindedness among its students, with the aim of training engineers capable of working effectively in multicultural professional contexts. This initiative enables future engineers to develop their ability to collaborate with partners of different languages and cultures. With this in mind, Polytech Marseille requires 14 consecutive weeks of international mobility to obtain the engineering diploma.

A network of foreign partners
Relationships with numerous partner institutions have been forged over the years, based in particular on research collaborations between lecturers and laboratories abroad.
Internships and study periods outside France
Engineering students are required to undertake internships or periods of study abroad, as well as working alongside international students who come to the school for several semesters or for entire courses.
International experience adds real value to the career paths of engineering students, and is a real plus on their CVs.
Support for student mobility
Polytech Marseille makes every effort to support students who wish to acquire an international profile. Every year, more than a hundred students receive financial aid (mainly based on social criteria): grants from the PACA region, the Ministry or the European Union to finance their mobility.
Importance of English in the engineering curriculum
Students are prepared for the TOEIC exam (accredited TOEIC center at Polytech Marseille). A minimum score on this test is required to obtain a CTI-accredited engineering degree in France.
Special attention is therefore paid to ensuring that students are fully operational in English in their day-to-day work as trainees and later as graduate engineers. Areas of the school are dedicated to language teaching, with computer rooms where students can work on listening, video, news and grammar online with specialized sites.

« Je suis partie trois mois en Norvège pour un stage à l’Université NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) de Gjøvik, une petite ville située à environ deux heures d’Oslo.
J’ai choisi la Norvège car c’était un pays que je souhaitais découvrir, notamment pour ses paysages magnifiques.
La langue officielle en Norvège est le norvégien, mais durant mon stage je communiquais principalement en anglais.
J’ai travaillé dans un laboratoire de recherche où mon projet portait sur la variabilité démographique en biométrie faciale. C’était un sujet très intéressant.
En parallèle de mon stage, j’ai profité de mon séjour pour voyager à travers le pays. J’ai eu la chance de voir des fjords, des animaux et des paysages incroyables, ce qui a rendu mon séjour encore plus inoubliable. »
Son conseil aux futurs étudiants en mobilité :
« De ne surtout pas hésiter car c’est une expérience unique. En plus de travailler dans un environnement professionnel différent, on a la chance de découvrir un nouveau pays, une nouvelle culture et on vit des moments que l’on n’oubliera jamais. »
