The school is regularly ranked among the best in France in terms of Engineering,[1] Research,[2] and Innovation,[3] according to French Magazines[1] or International ones.[4]
Students are admitted to Phelma after two years of undergraduate studies: the Classe préparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles. Studies at Phelma are of three years' duration and lead to the French degree "Diplôme National d'Ingénieur" (equivalent to a master's degree in engineering).
Based on Physics, Chemistry, Processes, Electronics, Nanotechnologies, Phelma's teaching curriculum is of a great scientific and technical diversity with teaching themes and professional opportunities such as:
Phelma was born from the gathering of 3 engineering schools in 2008 : ENSEEG, ENSERG and ENSPG
ENSEEG(Materials, Electrochemistry and Processes):
ENSEEG was first known as "l'Institut de l'Electrochimie" established in 1921. It was renamed ENSSEG in 1946.
ENSERG(Electronics):
The school was first part of "l'Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble" in 1942. It became an ENSI in 1948. It was finally renamed ENSERG in 1968.
ENSPG(Physics):
The school was created in 1986 from a part of the ENSIEG.
Due to its history, Phelma's building are located on 3 different places.
The school recruits from the Concours Commun Polytechniques after the CPGE, or the Polytechnic Preparatory Cycle as well as from the dossier, at the bac + 2 level.
The school delivers an engineering degree and research masters.
The students are grouped in first year in two courses with general vocation, giving a Bachelor in Engineering:
It is possible to choose any course in the second year regardless of the course followed in the first year.
In the end of the first year, a 1-month internship is compulsory in order to pass the year. This internship focuses on making the students have a genuine technical experience as a non-qualified worker to provide them with this knowledge, given that they may end up being manager in the future.
The courses of the second and third year grant a degree of Master in Science of Engineering, or "Diplôme National d'Ingénieur".
There are National courses, which are mostly taught in French and International courses, taught in English and include an abroad period.
In the end of the 2d year, a 3-4 month internship is compulsory to pass the year. This internship focuses on a first engineer experience, generally in a company or a research laboratory.
In the end of the 3rd year, a 6-month internship is compulsory to receive the "Diplôme National d'Ingénieur". This is called the Projet de Fin d'Etudes (or "PFE"), and allows students to have a full-time experience to find a job after the graduation, or even to get a professional contract for the following years.
Phelma students have the opportunity to perform research work as part of their curriculum in third year (9th semester). 20% of Phelma graduates pursue a Ph.D.
The school offers research masters in collaboration with Grenoble Alpes University:
During the year, the life of Phelma's students is punctuated by many extracurricular activities such as student parties, welcoming new students, and many other very diverse activities that range from sporting events to cultural events. These activities are organized by several student associations:
A lot of other associations related to Grenoble Institute of Technology also exist in Grenoble and are available to students from the 6 schools, such as INProd (video editing), Club Oenologie (Wine analysis), Cinétoile (Cinema specific)...
Some other associations are national or international associations which happen to be available in Grenoble or Phelma, such as CHeer uP !, BEST...
The BDE, the BDS and the BDA are elected each year by the students during the campaign,[18] which takes place each year in February : a part of the first year students are grouped into several student lists that organize events during the campaign, in order to win the students' votes.
