Each year, students at the school organize an optional pre-semester orientation week for students admitted through the admissions-on-qualifications pathway, international students, and students enrolled in French dual-degree programs. This usually takes place during the week preceding the start of the academic year.
It is an excellent opportunity to integrate into the ESPCI community and student life in general, while also helping to fill any gaps in certain subjects.
Below you will find the schedule for the 2026 pre-semester orientation week.
