Each year, ISBA TP trains 140 engineers, French and international students alike. Openness to the world is one of the core values passed on to its engineering students.
90%
international students in our cohorts
Since its founding, ISBA TP has been recognized for its international outlook. Long before internationalization became a strategic issue for higher education, the school was already welcoming students from all over the world and developing academic collaborations with foreign institutions.
Today, this international dimension is one of ISBA TP’s defining features. The cultural diversity of its cohorts (90% international students) and faculty, courses taught in several languages that cover practices from different parts of the globe, and numerous international partnerships give students a particularly rewarding multicultural learning environment.
Training an engineer today means preparing them to work in an international context, where projects bring together international teams, local application contexts and standards, and shared challenges linked to the digital, energy and environmental transitions. ISBA TP places this ambition at the very heart of its educational vision.

Our international partnership strategy
Training engineers who can thrive in a constantly changing world means building lasting partnerships, expanding mobility opportunities and giving all our programs an international dimension.
International openness is a major focus of ISBA TP’s strategic plan. It rests on a strong conviction: the major challenges related to infrastructure, buildings and the digital transition extend far beyond national borders.
This strategy is based on developing lasting university partnerships, student and faculty mobility for education or R&D activities, participation in international networks, and the continuous evolution of course content to meet international higher education standards and the expectations of companies.

These partnerships make it possible to build programs open to the world, encourage international mobility and develop joint projects addressing the challenges of the ecological transition, digital technology and infrastructure engineering.
Opening up to the World
Our International Engineering School Committed to Erasmus+
International engagement is an integral part of the identity of the Institut Supérieur du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics (ISBA TP).
With a diverse community of students and staff from a wide range of countries, ISBA TP provides a truly multicultural learning environment that encourages dialogue, the exchange of experiences and exposure to international engineering practices. This diversity, combined with a broad network of academic partnerships worldwide, contributes to educating engineers and experts who are prepared to work effectively across different professional and cultural environments.
Internationalisation is a key component of ISBA TP’s development strategy. The School’s international policy aims to strengthen academic and scientific cooperation, enhance linguistic and intercultural skills, and expand mobility opportunities for students, academic staff and administrative staff.
The strategy is built around five key priorities:
01
Promoting diversity and intercultural exchange
by strengthening the international dimension of the student community and broadening the geographical diversity of student cohorts.
02
Enhancing language skills
by expanding English-taught courses and providing appropriate language support.
03
Expanding international mobility
through study periods, traineeships, teaching assignments and staff training opportunities.
04
Strengthening academic and scientific partnerships
by fostering cooperation in key areas such as sustainable construction, smart infrastructure and technological innovation.
05
Ensuring the quality and recognition of international learning experiences,
in particular through European standards and the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS).
As part of this international strategy, ISBA TP has been awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) 2021–2027 and participates in the Erasmus+ programme, providing a strong framework for expanding mobility opportunities and strengthening cooperation with European higher education institutions.
Through Erasmus+, ISBA TP further strengthens its commitment to educating internationally minded engineers and experts, equipped to collaborate across borders and contribute to addressing the technological, environmental and societal challenges shaping the infrastructure of tomorrow.
