As required by China’s higher education, SPEIT, with the support of Chinese and French high-level faculty teams, builds on the French engineering development model and curriculum to provide an innovative model for China’s engineering talent development, reform the curriculum for engineering talent and nurture versatile, practical and high-level engineering specialists and corporate leaders with international vision that are adaptive to economic and social development.

Model and level of talent development

SPEIT has established a unique model of talent development based on the French engineering development model and curriculum (2 years of preparatory education and 3 years of engineering education) and China’s higher education system and requirements for talent development: A 6.5-year academic period that includes 4 years of undergraduate education and 2.5 years of master’s degree education, with the instruction period divided into the basic instruction phase and the engineering instruction phase.

Any students who meet academic requirements of SPEIT after 4 years of undergraduate studies can directly enroll in a master’s degree programme, and those who meet all the academic requirements of the bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes can obtain:

Bachelor’s Degree of Shanghai Jiao Tong University

Master’s Degree of Shanghai Jiao Tong University

French Engineering Diploma Certified by
Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI) (equivalent to a master’s degree)

Fields of study:

Mechanical engineering

Energy and power engineering

Information engineering

French

(applicable to students on recommendation for foreign language studies only)

Basic instruction phase

Engineering instruction phase

Inspired by the French preparatory education, the basic instruction of SPEIT focuses on basic academic disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and information science, aimed at helping students build a solid base of basic knowledge and develop independent thinking, problem-solving skills, critical thinking and innovation capabilities. It is delivered by experienced French preparatory education instructors who would align French preparatory instruction with the multidisciplinary international instruction of SPEIT.

In the basic instruction phase, students are instructed irrespective of academic disciplines.

Semester 1

The first semester is dedicated to enhancing French learning. Intensive French training is provided for at least 270 hours, while students are also required to take math and science courses taught in French as well as political education, English, sport and elective courses required by the undergraduate education of SJTU.

Semester 2-5

From the second to the fifth semester, there are 128-192 hours of the math course per semester (8-12 hours per week), and 112-160 hours of the physics and chemistry courses per semester (7-10 hours per week). Also, there are science and practice courses, intercultural modules and French and English courses. The intensive basic education has provided a solid foundation for the following engineering education.

After 3.5 years in undergraduate studies, students enter the engineering instruction phase for learning the knowledge and skills of a specific field of study. About 80% of the courses in this phase are delivered at SJTU by senior professors from its four collaborative French institutes, and professors from SJTU and R&D experts from the business community are also invited to teach some other courses.

Features of talent development

Chinese-French instruction

In the basic instruction phase, the courses are taught by instructors for preparatory education certified by the French Ministry of Education, with 65% French instructors and 35% Chinese ones who are all holders of French higher education degrees. In the engineering instruction phase, 70% of the courses are delivered at SJTU by senior professors from SPEIT’s four collaborative French institutes, and professors from SJTU and R&D experts from the business community are also invited to teach some other courses, so that Chinese and French supervisors can jointly provide students with guidance on their scientific studies and practical projects.

Close collaboration with the business community in line with business demands

World-renowned businesses are involved in development plans and 20% of the curriculum. Three progressive internship experiences would give students a comprehensive and deep understanding of the scientific research in a business/laboratory and its demands for employees, making it easier for them to adapt to a working environment.

Development of versatile talents

30% of courses in social sciences, economics and management that SPEIT offers are focused on helping students develop vocational and managerial capabilities as well as the ability to work in a multicultural context.
