L'Usine Nouvelle's 2022 ranking of engineering schools, which has just been released, reveals excellent performances for UniLaSalle, which for the first time tops the rankings in the two specialist fields in which it features:

• UniLaSalle, 1^st in the ranking of engineering schools specializing in the environment
• UniLaSalle, 1^st in the ranking of agronomy and agri-food engineering schools
   

For geosciences-geotechnics schools (which do not fall into a specific category), UniLaSalle ranks 1st out of the 5 schools in the overall ranking: UniLaSalle (54th), Polytech Grenoble (77th), Polytech Orléans (79th), Polytech Sorbonne (93rd) and ENSG Nancy (106th).

Overall, the Usine Nouvelle 2022 ranking uses 15 indicators divided into 4 criteria: Integration, International, Research and Links to companies. The ranking is aimed above all at industry, which is why it focuses on what happens at the school and after graduation, rather than upstream.

This year, 134 schools are ranked, selecting only those with more than 80 students enrolled, and excluding those with a highly specialized core curriculum (such as military schools, which are too far removed from the criteria used), or those that did not wish to take part. This ranking uses public data supplied by the Commission des titres d'ingénieur (©CTI - Year 2021) and the Conférence des directeurs des écoles françaises d'ingénieurs (©CDEFI - Year 2021). This result is consistent with the latest ranking of engineering schools published by L'Etudiant in January 2022.

* Not considered this year are the electrical and electronic engineering, digital engineering and information systems specialties present at UniLaSalle-Amiens (ex-ESIEE-Amiens) following the all-too-recent merger between the two schools. To find out more about these courses, click here.
