The school

For nearly a century, since 1905, the ESME-Sudria has been training engineers in the fields of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Telecommunications, and Computer Engineering.

The curriculum of the school, which is taught in French, has evolved significantly over the years: it covers the full range of technologies from electrical power  to the management of complex systems and intelligent networks.

The urban campus of the ESME-Sudria is on the doorsteps of Paris in Ivry-sur-Seine (two kilometers from inner Paris). Currently situated on 7,500 m², the campus includes:

  • laboratories (4500 m²) 38 rue Molière,
  • classrooms (2500 m²) 65 bd de Brandebourg

at Ivry, right on the RER C (express subway) and only 3 stations from Boulevard Saint Michel.

These modern premises include lecture rooms, self-access laboratories, and a cafeteria.

The administration offices are located 38 rue Molière.

Since 1905, over 12,000 engineers have graduated. 8,000 are currently active. The legal status of the school today is an « Association loi 1901 » i.e. a non-profit making association.
There are approximately 1000 students (of which 15% are girls), taught by 220 members of faculty and research staff.

State-accredited since 1922, the school is under supervision of the Ministry of Education.

The ESME-Sudria degree is approved by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (Commission of Engineering Certification), which awards the Engineering Degree only to students of accredited schools.

The ESME-Sudria is a member of the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles as well as the Union des Grandes Ecoles Indépendantes (UGEI) and is also a member of EDUFRANCE, a national agency for student-exchanges.
