Training Structure
Polytech Montpellier
Overview
The Water and Civil Engineering (EGC) program trains engineers (bac+5) through an apprenticeship program to become experts in supervising projects for the construction of hydraulic structures in urban centers and as part of regional planning.
The Benefits of the Training Program
A STRONG PARTNERSHIP
The EGC training program receives strong support from the Occitanie Region through the Regional Apprenticeship Training Center for Higher Education (CFA ENSUP LR).
ALL OF THE SCHOOL'S TRAINING PROGRAMS ARE SUPPORTED BY A NETWORK OF STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH:
- the industrial sector (800 internships, 200 industrial projects, and 50 apprenticeship contracts per year),
- academic research (14 affiliated research laboratories),
- International partnerships (more than 100 partner universities worldwide).
Objectives
THE BENEFITS OF APPRENTICESHIPS
