Isifc continues its development with a new school

Located on the Bouloie-Temis campus, this university engineering school specializes in medical devices and biomedicines.

Tailor-made premises

« We are currently in classes of 50 students. The amphitheater in the new building, modern and modular, has a capacity of 150 seats. It can be arranged in different configurations. The premises were designed for promotions of around 75 students (Editor’s note up to 100): a classroom annexed with 100 places, tutorial rooms with 36 places, practical work rooms specific to the profession: medical imaging, electronics and IT. And they also thought about moments outside of class withn large hearth independent where we can relax! »

With these new arrangements, the ISIFC will also now be able to welcome students from other university courses. “We will also be able to receive conferences and industrialists in the modular amphitheater. Enough to further strengthen the link between school and the business world! », explains Vincent Armbruster Director of the ISIFC.
