Presentation
Interested in international studies ?
The programme is open to both French and international candidates following successful completion of their high school diploma. Classes are in English: sciences, soft skills, and project management, with more computer science and mechanics options introduced in the second year.
The pathway gives the option of a third year outside France at one of our partner universities, such as JAMK University in Finland or the University of California in Santa Barara, USA, and the opportunity to obtain an undergraduate degree or diploma.
Students return to France for their fourth year at JUNIA HEI or JUNIA ISEN to earn their Master’s in Engineering.
Students also have the option of staying in France during their third year if they prefer. The training also enables future professionals to become involved in the design of complex, multidisciplinary city projects by developing a holistic approach and blending technological and social parameters.

Personalised support
JUNIA helps students in finding their personal and professional goals to help them choose their Year 2 specialisations, the ideal international partner university for their year abroad, and the engineering specialization at ISEN or HEI for their return to France in Year 4. This tailor-made training gives students the power over their future.
Program
The first two years are taught entirely in English in France. During the first year, students cover common core subjects, including sciences, soft skills and project management.
The second year consolidates this core knowledge and introduces more specialised modules in mechanics and computer science, which are prerequisites for the degree at Coventry.
Students spend their third year at one of the top-ranked International partner universities, such assuch as JAMK University in Finland or the University of California in Santa Barara, USA.
At the end of the third year, depending on the partnership, students may be awarded a Bachelor of Science from the host university.
The program of the 2nd year depends on the specialisation chosen by the student : Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering
Studying abroad
Students in good standing can apply to continue their third year at a partner university abroad:
Once a student has completed the International preparatory cycle, they are eligible to enter several of the Master of Science and Engineering programs at JUNIA.

Accreditations
A recognized diploma
The International Preparatory Cycle prepares students to obtain the JUNIA ISEN or JUNIA HEI degree.
This degree awarded after 2 years of study is recognized by the State and accredited by the Commission des Titres d’Ingénieurs (CTI).
The CTI label attests to the quality of teaching in certified engineering schools. It is also an important asset for professional integration abroad, as its system encourages international equivalence.
JUNIA is a non-profit association, with EESPIG certification. The EESPIG qualification distinguishes us from other private establishments, as an establishment recognized as being of general interest (participation in public service missions and disinterested management of our activities). In other words: the only profit sought is that of our students in their development within their training and the development of their professional project.
