Network "n+i" is a group of French Engineering Institutes which have chosen to share their actions of international cooperation to make easier the recruitment of foreign students, and welcome them with high-quality service. The Institutes can also take advantage of the Network to send their own students abroad.

Network "n+i" deals with international students or new graduate engineers wishing to obtain a French national Master’s degree (a French « diplôme d’ingénieur » or an international master).

Thanks to its online application platform (www.nplusi.com), a single free-of-charge registration allows to apply in one step to all engineering institutes members of Network "n+i"! 

"n+i" students benefit from « track to success » programmes with the aim of facilitating their cultural (Cultural Integration Package), linguistic (Linguistic Integration Package) and methodological (Methodological Package) integrations and pursuing their studies in France in the best conditions.
