The French section
Whether students are engineers/scientists (A) or law students (B), they can choose between 2 types of degree courses.
A) Degree courses for engineers and scientists
There are two scenarios:
- Students who have no professional experience follow a course during one academic year called the "long tuition". It is divided into two six-month periods: the first semester being about Patents and the second about Trademarks and Designs.
- Students who already have professional experience can follow a crash course or "accelerated tuition" throughout the academic year:
- Accelerated course about Patents for engineers and scientists (9 weeks);
- Accelerated course about Trademarks and Designs for legal scholars/law students and engineers/scientists who have a CEIPI degree (5 weeks).
All students are awarded either a "Patent of invention" or "Trademarks, designs and models" degree.
B) Degree courses for law students
In addition to the full-length "Trademarks, designs and models" degree (6 months) or the accelerated version (6 weeks), CEIPI also offers a Master's degree, specializing in intellectual property, in 1st and 2nd years, with a variety of courses, for both initial and continuing training.
