Encyclopedia
The Institute of Engineering Sciences of Toulon
and the Var (Institut des Sciences de l'Ingénieur de Toulon et du Var or ISITV) is a French
public engineering
school. It offers a diploma recognized by the Commission of Registered Engineers. It is located in the south of France, between Toulon
and Hyères
, on the French Riviera
. The School was established in 1991 by combining the teaching and research resources of the University of the South, Toulon-Var
with support and collaboration from industry.

There is a possibility of double diploma with Cranfield University
(Master of Science Offshore and Ocean Technology) in England, and with the Escola Politécnica of the University of São Paulo
in Brazil. Moreover there is also a possibility to spend a term at the Polytechnic University of Turin
in Italy.
The School possesses several important experimental structures, including a surge tank and a wave tank for studies in ocean engineering. For numerical modelling, students have access to a variety of scientific software in different areas (fluid mechanics, hydrodynamics, structures). Practicals at sea enable the students to become familiar with modern methods of measurement.
This training leads to numerous job opportunities at the national and international levels in such varied domains as offshore engineering, the protection of the seashore and offshore structures, undersea robotics, and oceanography.
