Teaching

Students' career plans are validated by work placements of 8 to 12 months in France or abroad.

EBI offers a 5-year post-A-level training course divided into 2 cycles : a global preparation cycle and an engineering cycle.


1st semester 2nd semester Summer
1st year Basic sciences(preparation cycle) Work placement(optional)
2nd year Basic sciences(preparation cycle) Work placement(1 to 3 months)
3rd year Engineering sciences(engineering cycle) Work placement(1 to 3 months)
4th year Engineering sciences(engineering cycle) Work placement(optional)
5th year Optional training(engineering cycle) Engineering work placement (6 months)

Preparation cycle

The first two years serve to provide solid basic multidisciplinary scientific knowledge, nonetheless incorporating knowledge of the workplace, which is essential for work placements.

Modules are divided into lectures, tutorials and workshops.

Modules change each semester but a balance is maintained between biology, mathematics, physics and chemistry.

The language taught at the start of the course is English, enabling students to obtain the 750 TOEIC points required for their engineering degree. Students may then learn German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese or Japanese while keeping up their validated level of English.

Each module is validated by 2 or 3 examinations during the semester. ECTS credits are given for each validated module.

Engineering cycle

The engineering training is based on the knowledge of company tools and on two scientific pillars. The latter transform students into operative managers by providing solid basic knowledge of industrial processes : industrial biology and industrial engineering.

At the end of the cycle, students choose one of 4 main subjects offered, depending on their career plans.

Subsequently, certain classes are compulsory and students can choose freely among optional classes (minor subjects) with the tutor's help.

List of compulsory classes for the 4 main subjects :


Process engineering Product development engineering Regulations and Quality engineering Management and Marketing engineering

In addition to the classes for other main subjects, possible options include :

  • administration and management classes : Communication and Supervision, Human development, Packaging, Labour and Company law
  • science classes : Applied fermentation, Cosmetology, Epidemiology, Bioremediation, Industrial chemistry, Process simulation techniques, C programming
  • experience in the workplace : Work placements at end of 1st or 4th year.
