About Us

Created in 1992, ISIGE – MINES ParisTech is the educational centre for MINES ParisTech Graduate School (the Ecole des Mines de Paris) that is dedicated to the environment and sustainable development. It trains high-level experts who can grasp these issues in a comprehensive fashion.
ISIGE - MINES ParisTech hosts its students at one of Ecole des Mines ParisTech's four locations, namely the Fontainebleau campus. Located sixty kilometres south of Paris, this town offers a special living environment to the French and foreign students residing there.
On top of the cultural events and the town's opportunities for activities, the students value the proximity of the forest area. The Fontainebleau Forest, including a section listed as a "Man and Biosphere" reserve by UNESCO, presents several options for leisure activities—hiking, biking, and climbing. The city has several athletic facilities.

What's an Advanced Master degree?

The Advanced Master (MS) degrees are postgraduate programmes (baccalaureate + 6 years of study) with a professional orientation, accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles. The goal of the degree programmes is "either SPECIALISATION or DUAL EXPERTISE, as well as sharing of UNIQUE KNOWLEDGE in a precise sector or job for which companies have exhibited a real need.".
The Advanced Master degrees benefit from a close relationship between schools, with their research labs, and the business world–ties that guarantee rigor and technique, management skills, and adequacy for companies' needs for executives and directors. As with more traditional programmes, the Grandes Ecoles offer a flexible and evolving education for the Advanced Master's degrees, thanks to its organisation into small working groups and high-quality instruction.
