Oniris in the French education system
Oniris is a Grande Ecole situated in the North-West of France, in the city of Nantes. It has acquired a reputation for excellence in both teaching and research, and has developed an international dimension for both veterinary and engineering programs for several years.
The French higher education system is divided in two categories: Universities and “Grandes Ecoles”.
The latter are accessible after two years of preparatory classes through a process of competitive exams. In order to be admitted at Oniris one has to take the veterinary medicine competitive exam (“A” ENV competitive exam) or the engineering one (“A” Bio competitive exam). The competitive exam program and admission procedure can be seen on the following website: www.scei-concours.fr.
The Grandes Ecoles focus mainly on the fields of engineering, management and life sciences. Their graduated students are in high demand from recruiters.
