A school open to the world<\/h2>\n\n\n

ISBA TP, an engineering school open to the world<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

international students in our cohorts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, this international dimension is one of ISBA TP\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Our international partnership strategy<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International openness is a major focus of ISBA TP\u2019s strategic plan. It rests on a strong conviction: the major challenges related to infrastructure, buildings and the digital transition extend far beyond national borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Opening up to the World<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our International Engineering School Committed to Erasmus+<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

International engagement is an integral part of the identity of the Institut Sup\u00e9rieur du B\u00e2timent et des Travaux Publics (ISBA TP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internationalisation is a key component of ISBA TP\u2019s development strategy. The School\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The strategy is built around five key priorities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promoting diversity and intercultural exchange<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

by strengthening the international dimension of the student community and broadening the geographical diversity of student cohorts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

02<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhancing language skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

by expanding English-taught courses and providing appropriate language support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

03<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expanding international mobility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

through study periods, traineeships, teaching assignments and staff training opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

04<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening academic and scientific partnerships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

by fostering cooperation in key areas such as sustainable construction, smart infrastructure and technological innovation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

05<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring the quality and recognition of international learning experiences,<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

in particular through European standards and the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

As part of this international strategy, ISBA TP has been awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) 2021\u20132027 and participates in the Erasmus+ programme, providing a strong framework for expanding mobility opportunities and strengthening cooperation with European higher education institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
