Providing support to our students : A top priority

As the number of students in each discipline is relatively small, it is possible for the students to get to know each other and the staff. This therefore creates a great atmosphere in the school. Apart from passing on knowledge and offering individual guidance, the goal of the educational team is also to give students all the tools they need to build their future careers.

The large number of associations, together with support from the school, indicates that good student relations is a key subject for CPE Lyon.

Precedence is given to enable students to succeed at CPE Lyon. This is achieved through supervision and mentoring, help in finding internships and setting up specialist equipment for students with permanent or temporary disabilities.

As CPE Lyon has permanent teaching staff, this means that students can easily meet them in order to speak about scientific and/or personal subjects.

Each academic year has a « Head of Year », who, apart from teaching, spends their time ensuring that students are doing well and resolving any difficulties.

Each study branch also has an assistant member of staff for other administrative matters.

CPE Lyon provides help finding internships from an administrative team and the international relations department who is in contact with many French and international companies in order for you to find the best work experience. Additional help can also be given by the Language Teaching Team.

In addition, the career guidance team accompanies students and young graduates in the building of their professional project and prepares them for their entry in the market. This includes setting up meetings with firms, workshops, interview simulations, and employment seminars. These are all services and occasions that can greatly benefit students at CPE Lyon.

For students with permanent or temporary disability, there is a designated person ready to answer all questions related to your needs. If necessary, they can also set up adapted solutions for students with a permanent disability, in association with a qualified MDPH (Department services for desable persons)  doctor.

N.B. the disability must be reported well before the studies begin in order to leave sufficient time to add or adapt equipment.

In partnership with Sopra-Steria, CPE Lyon has created a ‘Certificate in Disability Management’. Spread over the 3 years of the engineering curriculum, this additional training enables students to acquire skills related to the integration of people with disabilities into their future professional environment.
