Young woman welcoming new students in IMT Nord Europe

As every year, students from the eight schools of the IMT returned to school in early September!

On the agenda at our campuses: welcome days, student association events, first classes and meetings with teaching staff, alumni and industry partners. This new academic year brings together several thousand students studying engineering, management, digital technology and health, reflecting the group’s dynamism and international outlook (apprenticeship programmes, dual degrees, international mobility).

Take a look back at each school — IMT Atlantique, IMT Mines Albi, IMT Mines Alès, IMT Nord Europe, Mines Saint-Étienne, IMT-BS, Télécom Paris et Télécom SudParis — to relive the best moments of the 2025 academic year.
