ISAE-SUPAERO students
A training path of 180 ECTS is offered within this double degree program at EPFL:
- Validation of the first two years of the Ingénieur ISAE-SUPAERO course of study (Master 1, 60 ECTS)
- Internship in the industry (from eight weeks to six months)

A total of 120 ECTS credits are obtained at EPFL
End-of-study project or Master’s thesis
The academic supervisors of each institution must approve the subject of the end-of-study project or Master’s thesis. The students submit a written report and perform an oral defense in French or in English. The defense takes place at the host institution. One or more members of the home institution may be part of the academic committee responsible for evaluating the project (in situ or by video conference).
EPFL students
In order to be admitted to the Ingénieur ISAE-SUPAERO training program, EPFL students must have at least a B2 level in French.
In order to obtain the Ingénieur ISAE-SUPAERO degree, EPFL students must pass the TOEFL test, by the end of their stay at the latest, paper-based (PBT) or internet-based (IBT) format, and obtain a minimum overall score of 580 (PBT) or 92/100 (IBT).
ISAE-SUPAERO students
At EPFL a level of C1 in English is highly recommended. However, validation of this level by an official test is not required.
Once the program participants have met the graduation requirements of each of the partner institutions, they receive two degrees:
- EPFL Master of Science
- Ingénieur ISAE-SUPAERO degree
The award of the EPFL Master’s degree implies the award of the Ingénieur ISAE-SUPAERO degree and vice versa.
General information about costs related to double degrees is available on the Double degrees, joint Master’s and 1:1 Master’s page.
