Overview
The École supérieure des géomètres et topographes (ESGT) is a public engineering school of the Cnam based in Le Mans, founded in 1946.
It presents itself as the only school in France combining three skill sets: measurement sciences, law and land planning. Its main programme is the Diplôme d'ingénieur in surveying and planning engineering, entered at bac+2 level through competitions such as Polytech, G2E, the common ATS competition and the school's own competition, with work-study entry also possible.
An integrated preparatory cycle recruits students straight after the baccalauréat through the Geipi Polytech competition on Parcoursup. At postgraduate level the school offers two two-year masters, one on land identification, planning and management and one on monitoring methods and tools for planning and the environment, both selected on file and interview.
Two Licence professionnelle courses, Géo-mesures et Aménagement with Le Mans Université and Géomètre Collaborateur in Orléans, complete the offer.
Students can join associations covering sport, arts, student enterprise and topography, and the school works with companies through an annual business forum and apprenticeship tax partnerships.
