 “To build a world that
supports sustainable
and accessible energy.”

The energy transition is a long-term

industrial revolution. It has an impact
on every sector and requires innovative
solutions throughout the energy and
mobility value chain. It creates considerable
challenges for our society, our economy,
our industries, and, of course, for the
education of young people.
Today, IFP School focuses on technological
innovation, optimization and safety of
operations and the environment, while
remaining true to its roots in Oil & Gas.
Tomorrow, IFP School will combine
this history with the absolute need
to implement a sustainable energy mix.
Our ambition : to train talented young
people able to work straight away in
businesses involved in energy innovation,
and who are equipped with the broad
range of skills that prepare them for the
professions of the future. The method:
close collaboration with many industrial Dr. Christine Travers,
partners, all leaders in their respective Dean of IFP School
sectors, and with the world’s best
universities.
And through the success of our students,
we will contribute to the construction
of a world that supports sustainable
and accessible energy.

Petroleum Economics and Management),
it is also possible for students to spend
a semester in a partner university,
for example in Brazil, Canada, China,
Norway, the UK or the USA.

In addition, agreements are in place with

numerous French and European engineering
schools, enabling students to come to
IFP School as part of a two-year alternating
study program, whereby the first year
replaces the last year of their school
or university of origin.

Lastly, within the context of academic

cooperation initiatives, teaching staff
from IFP School deliver Master’s courses
at universities outside France.

IFP School and the Pacific

A cooperation agreement concluded in 2017
with the National University of Singapore (NUS)
launches the creation of a new graduate education
offer in the energy field. The first building block
in this partnership, a joint Petroleum Projects
