Hi everyone,

I was recently accepted to the M1 International Track in Electrical Engineering at Université Paris-Saclay. The program is taught across three campuses: Orsay, Gif-sur-Yvette, and Évry – and I was assigned to Évry as my enrollment institution.

I also applied to several German universities (TUM, etc.) and am still waiting to hear back.

I would really appreciate honest opinions on:

1. Programme quality & reputation, is it worth it?

• Is this specific M1 International Track well-regarded?
• How good is the teaching, lab access, and research supervision?
• The program covers mechatronics, embedded systems, computer vision, and AI – does it deliver on that well?

2. Évry specifically, how good is it for engineering?

• I know Paris-Saclay as a whole is ranked #1 in France for EE, but I am assigned to Université Évry as my home institution.
• Does being at Évry (rather than Orsay or Gif) change how the degree is perceived?
• Is the infrastructure, lab quality, and research environment at Évry actually strong for electrical engineering?

3. France (Paris-Saclay/Évry) vs Germany (TUM etc.), which would you choose?

• If I get into a good German university, should I take that instead?
• How do job prospects, industry connections, and post-study work opportunities compare between France and Germany for electrical engineering / embedded systems / AI?

That's basically it. I can speak French as i was a French-educated student and everything. I would love to go to Paris-Saclay! But the thing is I don't know a lot about the Évry campus, how good it is for electrical engineering, more information about the program or anything. If anyone can provide any information whatsoever about my situation, I would love to hear about it!

Any honest feedback from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with both systems would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Bonjour à tous,

J'ai récemment été accepté au M1 International Track in Electrical Engineering à l'Université Paris-Saclay. Le programme est enseigné sur trois campus : Orsay, Gif-sur-Yvette et Évry – et j'ai été affecté à l'Université Évry comme établissement d'inscription.

J'ai également postulé à plusieurs universités allemandes (TUM, etc.) et j'attends encore leurs réponses.

J'aimerais vraiment avoir vos avis honnêtes sur :

1. Qualité et réputation du programme, ça vaut le coup ?

• Ce M1 International Track est-il bien considéré ?
• Comment est l'enseignement, l'accès aux labos, et l'encadrement en recherche ?
• Le programme couvre la mécatronique, les systèmes embarqués, la vision par ordinateur et l'IA – est-ce que c'est réellement au niveau ?

2. Évry spécifiquement, comment est l'ingénierie là-bas ?

• Je sais que Paris-Saclay est classé #1 en France pour le génie électrique, mais mon établissement de rattachement est l'Université Évry.
• Est-ce qu'être à Évry (plutôt qu'à Orsay ou Gif) change la façon dont le diplôme est perçu ?
• Les infrastructures, la qualité des labos et l'environnement de recherche à Évry sont-ils réellement bons pour le génie électrique ?

3. France (Paris-Saclay/Évry) vs Allemagne (TUM, etc.). Que choisiriez-vous ?

• Si je suis accepté dans une bonne université allemande, devrais-je choisir celle-ci à la place ?
• Comment se comparent les débouchés professionnels, les relations avec l'industrie et les opportunités après les études entre la France et l'Allemagne pour le génie électrique / systèmes embarqués / IA ?

Merci d'avance pour vos retours !

Hey Everyone!

I am an international student, having completed my BS.c. in Computer Engineering with a german grade of 1,7 (according to the VPD). I applied to the MS.c. Program of Microelectronics and Chip Design.

I submitted my application in the beginning of March and now we’re closing in on April, about to hit May. I was wondering if anyone knows how long does it take for the admission results? How long does the wait take? Anyone got updates on when decisions usually drop?

Thank you!
