About Us

Lyon Polytechnic Institute was created in 1992 and gathers 2 higher education institutions in Lyon offering masters of science and Engineering: ECAM-Lasalle-Lyon and ISARA. The history of some of these schools date back to the 1880’s. They decided to constitute a consortium to offer the best educational quality and mutualize services to their students, deeply rooted in the humanist values that underpinned their creation.

IPL schools offer cross-disciplinary education combining high-level scientific and technical knowledge with management skills while supporting students’ personal, professional and social development. The teaching is deeply rooted in the industrial reality, thanks the long-term partnerships of the schools with companies and industries. Courses are taught by researchers as well as professionals, several “real-life” hands-on projects, internships and work placements are proposed throughout the curriculum, with a very high employment rate within six-months after students’ graduation. International experience is included in the curriculum to increase students’ intercultural abilities, soft skills and openness to the world.

Accompanying and helping students is our priority. The number of students in each group is small, enabling them to know each other and the staff, and creating a great atmosphere in the faculty.

Our graduates hold a variety of positions (R&D, production management, quality and safety, consulting and expertise, sales and marketing, logistics and supply chain) in a wide-range of industries and sectors of activities:
