The institute is a Établissement public à caractère scientifique, culturel et professionnel.[2]
The institute traces its origins to the founding of the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Clermont-Ferrand (ENSCCF) in 1911, now part of the SIGMA Clermont.[3] Over the years, it has expanded and diversified its curriculum and research areas, eventually merging with other institutions based in Clermont-Ferrand in order to form the current Clermont Auvergne INP on January 1st 2021.[4]
Currently the institute consists of three member schools: ISIMA, Polytech Clermont and SIGMA Clermont.
Clermont Auvergne INP offers engineering programs including graduate level and two-year engineering preparation programs. The institute is organized into several engineering graduate schools, each specializing in different fields:
A doctoral school ED SPI provides several PhD programs in engineering and sciences[6]
The university teaching approach blends elements from both North American and French traditions. The program spans five years: the initial two years emphasize basic sciences (Classes préparatoires), followed by three years concentrated on engineering sciences (Diplôme d'ingénieur). Most students enroll immediately after the competitive exam (Concours) in year 3, although some may join directly after their high school degree (baccalauréat). Students customize their curriculum by selecting courses, supplemented by guided classwork (Travaux dirigés) and practical laboratory exercises (Travaux pratiques). Industrial experience through at least 3 different internships is mandatory for obtaining the engineering diploma.
All Clermont Auvergne INP engineering degrees are accredited by CTI and are equivalent to a Master degree (M.Sc.).[7]
Clermont Auvergne INP is involved in research across various disciplines, including materials science, chemistry, computer science, and engineering.
Affiliated CNRS laboratories include ICCF, Institut Pascal and LIMOS[8]
Clermont Auvergne INP has formed partnerships with leading universities across Europe for student exchange and combined degree programs. It has furthermore partnered with many universities worldwide for exchanges.[9]
