For several years, the school has initiated a strategy around sustainable development and social responsibility (DDRS). In terms of training, courses and conferences on the social, environmental and economic issues of sustainable development have been organized for several years. Polytech Montpellier has had the DDRS label for higher education since 2015.
An international outlook

All engineering students are required to have international mobility. The school is a member of several international programs and has set up double degrees with prestigious universities in England, Brazil, Canada., etc.
Research and development
As an engineer trained in a university environment, Polytech Montpellier engineers are made aware very early on of the need for innovation and research in order to acquire the ability to innovate and undertake research. For this purpose, some projects and internships are carried out with the school’s research professors in the associated laboratories. They thus learn to identify the constraints and objectives of the researchers with whom they work. They can continue their studies with a thesis, conducted in one of the school’s 12 associated laboratories for example.
