IG2I, a school of Centrale Lille

IG2I is a 5-year post-baccalaureate engineering school founded in Lens in the Hauts-de-France region in 1992.

Its aim is to train expert engineers who are passionate about designing, developing, deploying and maintaining systems and applications, taking into account the needs of their users. Our engineers, at the cutting edge of today’s technologies and contributors to those of tomorrow, demonstrate creativity, rigour and boldness in each of their missions.

Located in the heart of Hauts-de-France, a region historically shaped by industry, IG2I stands out for its human dimension and its commitment to inclusion. Each year, between 30% and 40% of its students receive grants, reflecting its mission of social inclusion and its contribution to the socio-economic revitalisation of the region.

The IG2I is open to students with a baccalaureate, baccalaureate+2 or baccalaureate+3. The IG2I offers the option of completing the entire course as a student or, from the 3rd year, as an apprentice.
