Mission and Vision
The Collège des Ingénieurs has the mission to best prepare carefully selected young graduate engineers and scientists for economic, entrepreneurial, and international challenges.
Become an Impactful Leader of Tomorrow
We believe engineers and scientists should play a decisive role in shaping our world's future. Technology will play a big part in that future, but it won't drive change on its own. To be successful, you will need leadership and strategic thinking skills.
The mission of Collège des Ingénieurs is to prepare carefully selected young graduate engineers and scientists to tackle economic, entrepreneurial, and international challenges.
Our tailored management programme presents the diverse perspectives of selected senior academics and practitioners with exceptional leadership backgrounds who mentor and challenge our MBA Fellows.
Embedded in a European innovation ecosystem, we enable our MBA Fellows to work on a dedicated company mission, where they interact with senior management and develop an entrepreneurial mindset essential for success in leading corporations.
To complete this unique learning experience, we build a peer group of top young European professionals as part of a lifelong community that will foster your professional and personal growth.
Admission to the programme is merit-based. The Collège covers the tuition fees for the MBA programme and pays a salary to all admitted Fellows.
»The old world was made of talents. The present world is even more made of talents. And the future world, even more so. [...] Because the merging of technologies brings a need for excellence in each of these different fields.«
Learning Through Action – Qui Agit Intellegit
Our educational philosophy is genuinely innovative. We believe some things can only be understood through action. This is especially true in management.
The management programme at Collège des Ingénieurs has been specially designed to take engineering and science graduates from the world's top universities or Grandes Écoles and prepare them for the most responsible positions in the business world – through practical and conceptual theory. It is based on the "Learning through Action" concept: MBA seminars at the Collège alternate with phases in a dedicated company mission.
»In the future, we need managers from Collège who think internationally and work with an interdisciplinary approach. Then even the highest goals can be achieved.«
The 'College' ethos
In terms of educational theory, the 'College' concept breaks free from the conventional, rigidly structured teaching process, which constrains participants to a pre-determined academic curriculum.
The College ethos creates a place of freedom, made possible by the quality and small number of participants. It is a place of hungry minds which require tolerance and a range of special expertise – essential ingredients for a fertile environment that will encourage critical but creative individuals – and a place of sharing between major decision-makers and young talents.
It is a spirit that drives all the great European colleges such as the Ecole Normale Supérieure and, of course, Oxford and Cambridge Colleges.
»The experience with the Collège des Ingénieurs has always been outstanding over the years of collaboration, thanks to the maturity of the programme and the ability of these young potentials to face challenges in different contexts.«
