Activities


A public Graduate School of Engineering under the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, POLYTECH Clermont is a school of Clermont Auvergne INP and the Polytech network, which organizes its activities and projects around three pillars: sustainable development, future mobility and energy.

The school provides training for 1,200 students, 300 in the integrated preparatory cycle (PeiP, Polytech Engineering Schools Path) and 900 in engineering tracks in 6 specialties accredited by the Engineering Title Commission (CTI) and EUR-ACE: Biological Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematical Engineering and Data Science, Physical Engineering and Production Systems Engineering (via apprenticeship). Polytech Clermont also offers a Post-Master's Degree? BIM for integrated construction management.

It recruits at the Baccalaureate level via the Geipi-Polytech Competition and at the Bac+2 level for CPGE via the Polytech and Ensea competitions, and for DUT and L3 based on application files. Supported by 9 research laboratories, POLYTECH Clermont is in direct contact with the socio-economic world through industrial partners, sponsorships of incoming classes and innovative actions on the school’s technological platforms. Each year, more than 250 engineers graduate and join the Polytech Alumni network, bringing together more than 100,000 Polytech engineers.

Academic Programs

Polytech Engineering Schools Path (PeiP)

Intended for high school graduates and future holders of a general baccalaureate who wish to join an engineering track immediately after high school, the GEIPI-Polytech competition allows students to follow the Polytech Engineering Schools Path (PeiP) before joining one of the engineering programs offered by the Polytech Network.

Polytech Clermont offers 2 PeiP paths reserved for general baccalaureate holders:

  • a PeiP A (Maths/Physics)
  • a PeiP B (Biology)

Following their admission to the PeiP at Polytech Clermont via the GEIPI POLYTECH competition, the successful candidates register for their primary enrollment at Polytech Clermont and their secondary enrollment in a scientific Bachelor’s degree at Clermont Auvergne University.

Their first two years of study then take place within Clermont Auvergne University in a specific L1 and then L2 path combining fundamental sciences, technologies, and general education.

In addition to these courses, PeiP students also take modules specific to Polytech Clermont and benefit from individual guidance that allows them to refine their academic path.

6 Engineering Degrees

During the six semesters of the engineering cycle, Polytech Clermont offers 6 engineering specialties, leading to the acquisition of one of the 6 engineering degrees.

6 training specialties, each leading to a degree offered at Polytech Clermont:

An innovative educational model in step with the socio-economic world

Engineer is simultaneously a title, a function, and a profession. Polytech Clermont bases its educational model on three complementary and distinct dimensions: fundamental sciences, engineering sciences, and human and social sciences.

  • The first focuses on acquiring the fundamental knowledge and scientific culture essential for a good engineer; it depends little on the chosen specialty, and Polytech Clermont’s great strength is providing students from different specialties the opportunity to pursue their scientific learning together. This diversity is, today more than ever, a guarantee of success in a multipolar world where complexity often stems from a very strong interweaving of disciplines.
  • The second, more technological dimension aims at learning skills related to engineering professions in the specialty chosen by the student upon entering the school. This is where professionals, who regularly participate in the school’s teaching, intervene extensively. It is also on this side of the training that project-based learning is developed, representing a significant part of the education.
  • The third concerns the human and humanist dimension of Polytech engineers’ training. Of course, it includes training in communication techniques, languages, economics, law, and project management, as well as psychosociology, epistemology… various broadening disciplines that help put the engineer’s art into human, societal, and management perspectives.


This model, implemented since the beginning of the CUST adventure, has been renewed and reworked several times and retains all its freshness and relevance for training engineers ready to tackle modern technological challenges.

Advanced Master’s? GP-BIM

The objective of the Advanced Master’s is to provide training for architects, engineers, and project managers to enable them to acquire new concepts, tools, and methods for the integrated management of structures in the fields of infrastructure, civil engineering works, and buildings.

The training takes place at Polytech Clermont on the Cézeaux university campus.
