Founded in 1878, the institute was originally a vocational school providing for the training needs of skilled workers "Maîtres-mineurs" for the coal mining industry. In the 1960s, it awarded its first engineering degree.
Today, the Grande École des Mines de Douai trains high-level engineers and scientists (Master and PhD level) in various technological fields. Despite its small size (fewer than 200 students are accepted each year, after a very selective exam), it is a crucial part of the infrastructure of French industry.
The training is divided into 3 years. After a 2-year preparation in a national preparatory program, students must pass a selective exam to be accepted in this school. Then they complete a first year and get a bachelor's degree (2 years in the preparatory program + 1 year at the school). Their training continues with a 2-year program to get a master's degree.
First year
The selected students have various profiles. At the beginning the school offers a training with general courses:
