EIVP Academic Calendar

The academic calendar at Ecole des Ingénieurs de la Ville de Paris (EIVP) typically follows a semester-based structure, common among French engineering schools. The academic year is divided into two main semesters: the fall semester, which generally begins in early September and runs through late December, and the spring semester, spanning from early January to late May or early June. This structure allows for a significant winter break around the holiday season and a longer summer break for internships, research, or personal projects. Additionally, EIVP often incorporates intensive project weeks or modular courses, reflecting its focus on practical, hands-on engineering education.

• Fall Semester Start: September 1, 2025 (approximate, pending official confirmation). Classes and orientation for new and returning students begin.
• Mid-Semester Break: Late October 2025 (typically a one-week break around All Saints’ Day, a national holiday in France).
• Winter Break: December 20, 2025 – January 5, 2026 (approximate, covering Christmas and New Year holidays).
• Spring Semester Start: January 6, 2026 (approximate, following the winter break).
• Final Exams: Late May to early June 2026 (specific dates vary by program; includes practical assessments).
• Commencement Ceremony: Mid-June 2026 (tentative, for graduating students).

• Application Opening: November 1, 2024 (approximate, for the 2025–2026 cycle). Start of submissions for undergraduate programs.
• Early Application Deadline: January 15, 2025 (tentative, often recommended for international students needing visa processing time).
• Regular Decision Deadline: March 31, 2025 (approximate, final date for most applicants).
• Admission Decisions Released: May 1–15, 2025 (tentative, notifications sent via email or portal).
• Enrollment Confirmation Deadline: June 15, 2025 (approximate, including deposit payment and document submission).

The academic calendar at EIVP aligns closely with national norms in France, incorporating public holidays such as All Saints’ Day and Armistice Day into its breaks. This structure offers predictability for students planning their schedules. For international students, the extended summer break provides ample time for travel or internships, while the early application deadlines accommodate visa processing needs. However, as specific dates for the 2025–2026 academic year and admissions cycle are not yet publicly available, the above timelines are estimates based on typical French university calendars and may be subject to change. Students are encouraged to monitor official announcements from EIVP for the most accurate information.
