Pôle Universitaire Léonard de Vinci institutional logo

The Pôle Universitaire Léonard de Vinci is a private higher-education group based at Paris-La Défense, with additional teaching sites in Nantes and Montpellier.

It brings together three schools: ESILV, an engineering school; EMLV, a school of business and management; and IIM, which focuses on web, digital and multimedia studies. A separate institute, De Vinci Executive Education, offers continuing training for working professionals.

The schools share a teaching approach that mixes disciplines, so students from different fields often work together in multidisciplinary teams while building their digital skills. Close links with employers are central to the project, and a dedicated company-relations department supports internships, partnerships, work-study placements and student projects commissioned by firMs. Research is pooled in the De Vinci Research Center, which covers data science, digital transformation, energy efficiency, responsible finance, new materials and intelligent systeMs. International students are supported by a Welcome Desk, a network of partner universities for exchanges, double-degree agreements abroad and some programmes taught in English.

Prospective applicants can contact separate admissions teams for each school and attend regular open days.
