Bachelor in Bicursus Architecture Ingénieur - ESTP

Tuition fees are 208 USD per year.

This Bicursus Architecture Ingénieur program combines architectural training with engineering education, delivered jointly by the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-La Villette and ESTP (École Spéciale des Travaux Publics), in Paris, France. A dual architecture-engineering track of this kind typically brings together the design, spatial, and conceptual training characteristic of architecture programs with the structural, technical, and construction-focused coursework characteristic of engineering programs, so students study subjects such as architectural design studios, the history and theory of architecture, structural mechanics, construction materials, and building systems side by side. Graduates of a combined architecture and engineering pathway are positioned for roles that sit between design and technical execution, including architect, structural or construction engineer, project manager on building and infrastructure projects, and specialist roles bridging design intent and engineering feasibility. This kind of dual training is particularly suited to students interested in large-scale building projects where architectural vision and engineering constraints need to be reconciled from the earliest design stages, and it also opens paths into research or further specialized study in either discipline. The program is based in Paris, France, runs for three years, and begins in September, with instruction delivered in French throughout. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR. Admission to this program involves selection tests, so candidates should expect an evaluation process covering both design aptitude and scientific or technical background rather than open enrollment. Being located in Paris gives students access to a dense concentration of architecture firms, construction companies, and engineering consultancies. Students interested in working at the intersection of architectural design and structural engineering, rather than choosing one discipline exclusively, may find this bicursus format a relevant route into the building and construction sector.
