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 17 January and 14 March 2024, 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 3 April 2024.
The registration fee for the Geipi Polytech competition is 60 €, 0€ for scholarship holders.
Tests for the 2024 competition
File study
For students in Terminale Générale in 2023-2024, the subjects taken into account are:
– Mathematics speciality in Première
– Physics and Chemistry 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.
All candidates are invited to take the written test.
Motivation interview
A mathematics MCQ (duration 1 hour) with questions relating to the common program of the complementary mathematics option and the mathematics specialty.
Written test
2 written tests (duration of 1 hour each) relating to 2 scientific specialties to choose from the following 5 scientific specialties :
– Mathematics
– Chemical Physics
– Digital and computer sciences
– SVT
– Engineering Sciences
The choice of the 2 specialties is made on the day of the test.
The written test will take place on the afternoon of the 30th Tuesday 2024.
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.
In accordance with the decree of April 19, 2019 and the decisions voted by the Board of Directors of the Université Jean Monnet, registration fees at Télécom Saint-Etienne for students from outside the European Community for the year 2024-2025 will be :
