École Polytechnique

École Polytechnique offers the multidisciplinary third-year Parcours D’Approfondissement « Science et Défis du Spatial » within its Cycle Ingénieur Polytechnicien. The space curriculum combines physics, mechanics, applied mathematics, and computer science with a year-long space project, intensive CNES instruction, and a research internship. AeroVia records the advanced programme as the qualifying space specialization, not as a separate degree and not as the entire general engineering cycle.
