SIGMA Clermont
SIGMA Clermont is a French graduate engineering school and is a public institution under the authority of the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation. It is located in Aubière, Clermont-Ferrand metropolitan area, France.
It was created on 01.01.2016 following the merger of the French Institute for Advanced Mechanics and the National Graduate School of Chemistry. SIGMA Clermont is a member of the French Conference of graduate engineering schools, and the Gay-Lussac Federation, which comprises 20 French chemistry schools. It is also an associated member of the Mines-Télécom network.
SIGMA Clermont offers two degrees in engineering, recognized by the national engineering commission: engineer in chemistry and engineer in advanced mechanics. These degrees are equivalent to a Master of Science.
Furthermore, SIGMA Clermont, situated in the Les Cézeaux science campus, is a member of Clermont University and Associates, the local higher education association.
