International Integrated Cycle (CII)

The CII is a 2-year program (Preparatory cycle). After passing 2 years’ preparatory courses, the students of CII program will be enrolled in the 3-year Engineering cycle. This program is oriented to candidates who passed their senior high school studies in science major(e.g. A Level, Huikao, French Baccalauréat…).
The international exposure includes two semester’s oversea study. Firstly, during the preparatory cycle, there will be one semester oversea study in China, UK, Czech Republic, Canada, Germany,Tunisia, South Korea. Next, during the engineering cycle, there will be another one semester oversea study in one of our 135 partner universities in the world.
