General information
Status
Public school integrated to the Paris-VI University. It is under the guardianship of the French National Education, Superieur Formation and Research ministry. In January 2018, the Pierre and Marie Curie University campus merged with the world-known Paris-Sorbonne University , and "Polytech Paris-UPMC" renamed "Polytech Sorbonne".
Education
The Polytech Sorbonne has eight cursus of Education :
- Electronics and Computer Sciences
- Geotechnics and Geophysics (Earth Sciences)
- Robotics
- Industrial Computing
- Industrial Mechanics
- Agribusiness
- Materials chemistry
- Numerical Computer Science and Applied Mathematics
Extracurricular activities related to the School
Moreover, students are encouraged to do extracurricular activities related to the School:
- Associations: charities, cultural outings, fun-educational activities for children, ecological actions, entrepreneurship
- French or English theater
- Languages: Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, German, English, and even more.
Internships
During their training, students must complete several internships:
- Third year: at least 4 weeks
- Fourth year: at least 8 weeks

Educational Background of students
Agribusiness (AGRAL)
Existing since September 1983, this educational background leads to all the skills needed in the worldwide/international agribusiness industry. The agro-food industry includes different food products : beverages, dairy products, sweet industry, meat or fish products, animal and vegetable oil and fat, processing and preserving of fruit and vegetables, manufacture of grain mill products just as the manufacture of other food products (prepared animal feeds…)
At Polytech Sorbonne, the program often improves to become even better, and is focused on the grain sector, resulting in a partnership with AEMIC. To boost this course, field trips (like SIAL or the International Exhibition of Agriculture well-known in France: Paris International Agricultural Show, visit of Suresnes Grapevines are organized, which helps students to gain furthermore confidence in their career plans.
Pupils are recruited according to a very wide range of backgrounds and nationalities.
Electronics and Computer Sciences (EI-SE and EI-2I)
Two training choices:
- Embedded Systems course (EI-SE)
- Industrial Computer Science course (EI-2I), under apprentice status (in partnership with ITII Ile-de-France and the "CFA Mecavenir"), as well as in continuing education.
Geotechnics and Geophysics (Earth Sciences with the acronym ST in French)
Robotics (ROB)
Industrial Mechanics (GM)
Materials chemistry (MTX)
Numerical Computer Science and Applied Mathematics (MAIN)
