Personalized follow-up of the students
In case of difficulty or simply because you have the right to change your mind, reorientations are possible during the DUT or Licence training.

Admission
holder of a general baccalaureate
To enter our Citise integrated preparatory school, you must take the Geipi Polytech competitive exam.
Registration for the competition
Registration for the Geipi Polytech competition takes place between 20 January and 29 March 2022, on the Parcoursup website.
To start the procedure on Parcoursup, choose Télécom Saint-Étienne and then add it to your wish list. You will then have access to all the schools in the competition.
The Geipi Polytech competition is considered as a “multiple choice”. This means that it counts as only one of the 10 possible wishes.
To finalise your registration, you must confirm your “Geipi Polytech competition” wish on Parcoursup before 7 April 2022.
The registration fee for the Geipi Polytech competition is 60 €, 0€ for scholarship holders.
Tests for the 2022 competition
File study
For students in Terminale Générale in 2021-2022, the subjects taken into account are
– Mathematics speciality in Première
– Physics and Chemistry in Première
– English in Première
– Bac de français
– Terminale mathematics speciality (or complementary maths option)
– The 2nd scientific speciality in Terminale (Physics Chemistry or Life and Earth Sciences or Numerical and Computer Sciences or Engineering Sciences or Biology Ecology)
– English in Terminale
The results (report cards, common evaluations, final tests of the specialities, Bac marks) in these different subjects lead to a file mark for each candidate.
Motivation interview
Candidates whose file marks are judged sufficiently high by the jury will be invited to a motivation interview. This will take place between 19 April and 12 May 2022.
The interview will take place on Wednesday 21 April 2022 at Télécom Saint-Étienne.
Written test
The majority of the other candidates will be called to a 3-hour written test, which will include
– A mathematics subject* (2 hours)
– A subject to be chosen from one of these 4 subjects: physics-chemistry, digital and computer sciences, SVT or engineering sciences (1h)
*Only part of the mathematics subject will be accessible to candidates who have taken the complementary maths speciality in Terminale.
The written test will take place on the afternoon of the 4th Wednesday 2022.
Job opportunities
After the Citise, several possibilities are open to you:
– Continue your studies at Télécom Saint-Étienne in one of our cycles (generalist engineer, engineer by apprenticeship)
– Apply for admission to major engineering schools such as Télécom SudParis, Télécom ParisTech, IMT Atlantique
Course fees
As Télécom Saint-Étienne is a public school, the tuition fees are university fees of around €601 per year
