AgroParisTech (French pronunciation:[aɡʁopaʁitɛk]; officially Institut national des sciences et industries du vivant et de l’environnement, or Paris Institute of Technology for Life, Food and Environmental Sciences)[1] is a French higher education institution, known as a grande école. It is a constituent member of the Paris-Saclay University. It was founded on January 1, 2007, by the merger of three life sciences grandes écoles (INA P-G, ENGREF and ENSIA).
AgroParisTech is one of the founding members of the Université Paris-Saclay, which will be the largest European multidisciplinary campus. AgroParisTech will consequently be moving to the Paris-Saclaybusiness and research-intensive cluster in 2021.
The public higher education system in France includes universities and other institutions called the grande école. The grandes écoles are the best rated pathways for higher education in Engineering and Management. The vast majority of the chief executives in major French companies and of top managers in the French Administration are graduates from the grandes écoles. The features are:
A very selective admission process through which students are either admitted by a nationwide entrance exam (notably after two or three years of prépas) or by the virtue of excellent academic records
5 years (Master’s degrees) to 8 years (PhD and post-Master’s degrees) of higher education
The degree course at the grandes écoles includes compulsory internships in laboratories and companies, in France or abroad
The prestige of the grandes écoles and contacts with major companies provide an easy access to the job market
The university includes a museum, which has objects on loan from institutions in Wallis and Futuna, such as Uvea Museum Association, including a coca cola bottle dating to 1942.[2]
