The FPM is in the ERASMUS program and maintains 25 direct partnerships with foreign universities. She is also a member of the TIME network ( Top Industrial Managers for Europe). The FPM's award joint degrees with the following institutions:

  • Vienna University of Technology
  • École Centrale de Lille
  • École centrale de Lyon
  • École centrale de Marseille
  • École centrale de Nantes
  • École Nationale Supérieure de l' Aéronautique et de l' Espace
  • École Supérieure d' Electricité
  • Politecnico di Milano
  • Universidad Politécnica de Madrid

On 6 July 2007 the Board of Directors of FPMs and the Université de Mons -Hainaut unanimously decided to merge to form the Université de Mons. This new university is to work from the academic year 2009-2010 ..
