COMING TO STUDY AT ENSTIB

ENSTIB (École Nationale Supérieure des Technologies et Industries du Bois) offers international students two courses on the theme of “Wood Science and Technology”. ENSTIB is the only public engineering school in France to offer semesters preparing general engineers and researchers to take on the challenges faced by companies in the forestry and timber sector and the natural fibre industry. ENSTIB’s constant collaboration with research laboratories, technical transfer centres and industries on Campus makes it a catalyst for innovation.

• During the international semesters, tutorials, lab sessions and lectures are conducted in English (Course material available in Englush).
• During practical work sessions, students will be paired with English-speaking students.
• Throughout the semester, international students will be supported by an advisor.

• PRD (6 ECTS) – The “PRD”: Research and Development Project is a project which allows students to learn more about technological research on subjects of industrial interest for companies or research laboratories. All teachers are involved in this important step in the engineering students’ curriculum.
• UE 5.3 (8 ECTS) Wood anatomy MOOC + M2 Structural and anatomic properties + M3 Chemical properties
• UE 5.4 (5 ECTS) M1 Chemical thermodynamics and kinetics + M3 Introduction to combustion
• UE 5.5 (7 ECTS) Practical: Product representation and process engineering
• TP – Practical Work in communication (4 ECTS)

• UE 6.1 (6 ECTS) M2 Management and communication
• UE 6.2 (6 ECTS) M1 Biological wood degradation and preventive solutions + Wood coating
