It is also the opportunity to meet other university students from around the world and make friendships that will last a lifetime.
It is designed for undergraduate students in Science and Engineering who have completed their first or second year of study.
This programme consists of French language classes in different levels, science/engineering classes to be chosen from one of 4 engineering schools: CPE Lyon, ECAM Lyon, ISARA Lyon, ITECH.
- Students also take part in industrial and cultural visits
- 45-60 hours of class, laboratory work and group projects (6 ECTS. European Credit Transfer System)

BEST Programme “Biomolecular Engineering, Science and Technology Study Abroad Programme”:
For several years, during May, June and July, CPE Lyon receives a group of around 55 American students and a few professors from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta (https://www.gatech.edu/) and offers a scientific and cultural programme.
The Best Programme is an externalization of practical work in chemistry for these Bachelor students. A few of them also follow biology courses and others learn French.
2024 session: from May 21th until July 11th
New in 2024: Practical sessions in biology (working on silkworms), and a new course titled ‘Cooking, Chemistry, and Senses’.
Cultural programme: Guided tour of Vieux Lyon – Visit of the Confluences Museum – Visit of the CERN and United Nations – Week-end in Paris
