this is the a some questions of orientation the more common at the bacheliers scientifiques: « FST or fac? ». The deux are some établissements universitaires publics, but all the oppose on the accès, the encadrement and the finalité. Voici the comparatif.

FST and faculty classique: the vraie difference
The FST sélectionne to the input and form in a cadre resserré, orienté sciences appliquées and ingénierie, with some travaux pratiques and some internships from the start. The Faculty of Sciences classique is to accès libre: not importe quel bachelier scientifique can it there inscrire, but the encadrement is more léger and the first year more theoretical and more sélective of does (fort taux of échec).
Table comparatif
| Criterion | FST | Faculty some sciences |
|---|---|---|
| Accès | Selection on application (average of the Bac) via CursusSup | Accès libre for the bacheliers scientifiques |
| Effectifs | Promotions limitées, best encadrement | Grands amphis, effectifs élevés |
| Pédagogie | Tronc commun + specialization appliquée, TP / TD / internships | More theoretical, less of pratique in start of cursus |
| Degrees | LST (Bac+3), Master's degree, engineering cycle (LMD) | Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, PhD (LMD) |
| Orientation | Sciences appliquées and ingénierie | Sciences fondamentales, enseignement, recherche |
| Ideal if… | Tu veux a cadre encadré and professionnalisant | Tu vises the recherche fondamentale or the enseignement, or tu not es not pris in FST |
This that the FST not is not (OFPPT, BTS, IS)
The FST not délivre not a degree of technicien. For a program courte and professionnalisante (Bac+2), regarde rather the IS, the BTS or the OFPPT. The FST, it, it inscrit in the LMD (Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, engineering cycle).
Débouchés and further study options
- FST → LST, Master's degree, engineering cycle intégré, postes of encadrement technique.
- Faculty → Bachelor's degree puis Master's degree or PhD, enseignement, recherche fondamentale.
- Since the deux, we can candidateer on titre to some engineering schools.
How choose
Admitted in FST → prends the FST: best encadrement, career opportunities more lisibles.
Not admitted in FST → the Faculty of Sciences reste a option, to requirement of be very autonome from the 1ʳᵉ year.
Tu vises the State Engineer direct → compare with ENSA or FST.
Frequently asked questions
Quelle is the difference between the FST and the Faculty of Sciences?
The FST (Faculty some Sciences and Techniques) is sélective: it recrute on application via CursusSup, propose a tronc commun puis some spécialisations appliquées, with beaucoup of TP, TD and internships, in the LMD degree system. The Faculty of Sciences classique is to accès libre for the bacheliers scientifiques, with a program more theoretical and in addition gros effectifs.
The FST délivre-t-it a degree of technicien?
Non. The FST délivre some degrees in sciences and techniques in the LMD degree system (LST, Master's degree, engineering cycle), not some degrees of technicien as the OFPPT, the BTS or the IS. It prepares to some postes of encadrement and to the further study.
Need-it choose the FST if we not has not eu of entrance exam?
The FST is a very bon choice for a bachelier scientifique who not has not intégré a engineering school: it is more encadrée and more professionnalisante that a faculty classique, with some passerelles towards a engineering cycle or a Master's degree. If you êtes admitted to the fois in FST and in faculty classique, the FST is generally préférable.
