What is the Concours Advance?
The Concours Advance is like a big test that students take to get into some of France's top engineering schools. These schools are called "grandes écoles" in France. Passing this exam is a key step for students who want to become engineers in different fields.
The Schools You Can Join
The Concours Advance gives you a chance to enter four specific engineering schools. Each school focuses on a different area of engineering:
- EPITA (École pour l'informatique et les techniques avancées) is for students who love computers. Here, you can learn about computer science and how to create software.
- ESME-Sudria focuses on energy. This school teaches you about different types of energy and how to use them wisely.
- IPSA (Institut polytechnique des sciences avancées) is perfect for those who dream of flying. It teaches about aeronautical and aerospace engineering, which means designing planes and spacecraft.
- Sup'Biotech (Institut Sup'Biotech de Paris) is for students interested in biotechnology. This field uses biology to create new products and technologies, often in health or agriculture.
A Look at Its History
The Concours Advance exam was first created in 2011. It was started by a group called IONIS Education Group. Later, in 2016, Sup'Biotech joined the other schools as part of this important entrance exam.
