École Polytechnique and the University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) in Lima have developed a double degree program offering students the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in various scientific and technological fields. Admitted students will be able to study in a Master of Science & Technology program at l’X while completing their four-year Bachelor of Sience degree at UTEC Lima.
On the initiative of the Science and Video Games Chair, supported by Ubisoft and directed by Raphaël Granier de Cassagnac, a researcher at the Leprince-Ringuet Laboratory, ENJMIN became an École Polytechnique application school in 2022. This collaboration opens up new perspectives for École Polytechnique students in the fields of digital creation and video games. Alexandre Pérot (X2018) is an inspiring example: after studying at École Polytechnique, he turned his attention to video game design.
