This first period of training at Ecole Polytechnique de Tunisie is spread over 3 semesters. It brings students a set of scientific lessons and techniques covering several disciplines such as Mathematics and applications, Physics and processes, IT, Economy, Business Management, Mechanics, Robotics, Aerodynamics. A key place is also devoted to languages and communication, history of science and civilization
Courses are consolidated by lab works, projects of different kinds, company visits, seminars and two study trips. All these aim to anchor in students the team spirit , communication, taking initiatives and going beyond the cultural frontiers.
