The dynamic world of telecoms

Grenoble IT TELECOM is a 3-year engineering course set up in 1999 to meet telecommunications industry requirements. It is taught in two schools (ENSERG and ENSIMAG) and offers in-depth training in IT, electronics and telecommunications.

High level teaching with a business focus

Grenoble IT TELECOM's goal is excellence in scientific and technical disciplines, language teaching and management studies. All aspects of new ICT are covered, including data transmission, hardware, software, services and networks. The course is taught by researchers and experts in industry, ensuring teaching reflects today's emerging technologies closely.

Teaching focus

Grenoble IT TELECOM's teaching is often based on project work, encouraging students to invest and develop their management skills.Students are introduced to the business world via a business start-up project, a core component of the business management course. In the 3rd year, three specialties can be studied: distributed applications and networks, embedded communications applications, telecommunications and transmission systems.

Research and business promotion

The Grenoble area is a center for French and European research in applied mathematics, IT, signal processing, and micro and nanotechnologies.

Telecommunications draws on all of these areas, and research topics offered by the two doctorate schools cover electronics, electrical engineering, automation, signal processing, IT and applied mathematics.

In a third year, Grenoble IT TELECOM students with an interest in research can write a masters dissertation, and can go on to prepare a doctoral thesis or a DRT (diplôme de recherche technologique).

International experience

By essence, telecoms is an international business. One third of Grenoble IT TELECOM students take the opportunity to do a 3-month 1-year placement in foreign universities or companies.

Grenoble IT TELECOM graduates can immediately take up a variety of career opportunities in varying businesses, from tiny start-ups to multinationals - infrastructure developers, telephone manufacturers, network operators, Internet service providers, turnkey solution developers and integrators and regulatory authorities.
