To help foreign students towards success, engineering institutes can ask them to follow
the programmes of the integration packages managed by the “n+i” Network. All these
in partnership with
The “n+i”
Integration Packages
Packages are included in the
engineering training
packages are included in the engineering training and so do not require any extra time.
The Package for Cultural Integration PIC
This package provides full assistance during all your studies in France . As soon as you
arrive in France, the “n+i” Network offers a comprehensive programme including a
personalised welcome in Paris airport, insurance from the minute you arrive in France,
a personal pack comprising: phone cards, etc., assistance with administrative
procedures (residency permit, bank account opening, etc.), accommodation reservation
for the first months of your stay and transfers to facilitate travel between the different
locations of study.

This is much more than a welcome package

prepare my studies in
France. ~

The Package for Linguistic Integration PIL
The Package for Linguistic Integration enables beginners (or not) in French language to
Labelled centres
get ready before the programme starts. This summer intensive French language
course is taught in France from mid-July to mid-September in specialised
organisations, with the label Qualité français langue étrangère.
During this training, students will be accommodated in French families in order to
boost their knowledge of French culture and language.
Students having a very good level in French can be exempted (PIL
and/or PIM) subject to conditions.

The Pre-Master Package PreM
The one-year Pre-Master Package is a mix in one package of the three packages
PIC, PIL and PIM. In this case it precedes the beginning of the Master studies in
France. This training cannot be credited in the engineering curriculum degree and
does not give any ECTS credit. Yet PreM is highly recommended to students who
have very little knowledge of French language and wish to benefit from a highquality scientific and technological preparation.

PIL was great. I
improved
my
French
quite a lot not only due
to the course of French
but also to the French
family I stayed with. ~

The Package for Methodological Integration PIM
The Package for Methodological Integration is a period of cultural and language
adjustment which allows students to gain confidence and also learn about French
teaching methods. These programmes are fully integrated into the engineering
training and are included in the curriculum.
For students at M1 level only
the Full PIM
Students with a low level in French and no special knowledge about France and its
academic system will benefit from a Full Package for Methodological Integration
organised by a conjunction of several institutes. It is a special tailor-made period
for international students. International students study engineering during this
special period for integration but not yet alongside French students. Seminar-size
courses are taught in French at a suitable pace for non-French speakers. During
the period of methodological integration, students get personal help from their
tutors: advice and guidance, assistance with housing, and help with administrative
procedures, regulatory requirements (registration, bank accounts, visas, residency
permits, etc.) and academic assistance.

I started with one
zero level and I almost
reached a B2 level when I
left the PIM school. I
must say that this is
mainly thanks to the very
good
PIL
and
PIM
organisation ran by the
network “n+i”. ~

For students at M1 or M2 level
the Local PIM
Students who have a medium level of French could benefit from a Local Package for
Methodological Integration i.e. they will join directly their engineering institute
alongside French students. At the same time, such students will benefit from a
special assistance and personal tutoring. In addition to regular classes this package
offers students a personal welcome in his/her institute, a personal tutoring from
professors and French students during the first period of courses. This is a good
support for personal work. It also enables the discovery of the institute life and
helps gaining a better understanding.
Methodology packages are included in the course and require
no extra time

I followed courses
that are simpler than
courses at the regular
school in order to get
better adapted to the
French
environment
first. ~
