EPISEN - SI

What EPISEN - SI does

EPISEN (École publique d'ingénieurs de la santé et du numérique) is a French public engineering school and component institution of Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC), headquartered at 71 rue Saint-Simon in Créteil, with a secondary campus at Vitry-sur-Seine. Created in 2019 as a rebrand of ESIPE-Créteil, the school delivers three CTI-habilitated three-year engineering programs (diplôme d'ingénieur, bac+5) anchored at the intersection of health and digital technologies: Systèmes d'Information (SI), Technologies pour la Santé (ITS), and Génie Biomédical et Santé (ISBS). The SI and ISBS programs carry EUR-ACE® European accreditation from ENAEE, conferring cross-border graduate mobility and state-recognized credential status.

Pedagogical infrastructure includes a Biomedical Creative Lab, biomechanics and biology platforms, a Health Living Lab, IoT and FabLab (3D printing) facilities, a VMware vSphere 6.7 virtualization/cloud stack, and a physiological data simulator. Programs are delivered either under student status (regulated tuition of 628€/year for 2025-2026) or via apprenticeship, the latter operated in partnership with CFA NUMIA (SI) and CFA LEEM MIS'APPRENTISSAGE (ISBS) using a one-week school / one-week company rhythm. Curriculum spans data engineering, cloud/nomadism, cybersecurity, AI/ML, biomedical instrumentation, and e-health/telemedicine, supported by associated research labs (LISSI, LACL, IMRB) and proximity to CHU Henri Mondor for clinical collaboration.

The business model is that of a public French engineering school: operating revenue derives from regulated student tuition, state subsidies via UPEC, and the taxe d'apprentissage funded by enterprises that recruit apprentices. There is no equity capital, no revenue disclosure, and no M&A optionality. Distribution runs through competitive exams (Concours communs Polytech, CCINP), Parcoursup (CPES pathway), eCandidat (admission sur titres), Études en France / Campus France (non-EU intake), and direct enterprise recruitment into apprenticeship cohorts. Enterprise partnerships span 100+ companies across banking, telecom, transport, pharma, energy, consulting, and gaming — BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Orange, RATP, Sanofi, SNCF, CAP GEMINI, SOPRA STERIA, ENEDIS, Natixis, FdJ, and Essilor among them — providing internship/apprenticeship flow and curriculum input. Career services, alumni engagement, and student welfare infrastructure (Réseau Pro, Datalumni alumni platform, Eprel Moodle LMS) round out the operating stack.
