Gustave Eiffel received his education and graduated at the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures.

Lycée Royal, a renowned institution in Dijon, is where he received his education. His history and literature professors in the last years of his education inspired him to work harder in class despite his poor academic performance. He worked really hard in school and earned a BSc in science and humanities.

He had an uncle named Jean Baptiste Mollerat who created the distillation method. A scientist and his uncle's buddy, Michel Perret, was also a chemist. Michel Perret and Jean Baptiste Moller instructed Gustave in the fields of chemistry, mining, religion, and philosophy. College Sainte-Barbe is where Gustave attended college while living in Paris. Gustave Eiffel didn't put much effort into his studies, but because of his prowess in the sciences and engineering, he was able to enroll at the elite Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures. The École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, one of the most prominent engineering institutions not just in France but also in the entire globe, is where he would later pursue his studies.

Gustave Eiffel finished 13th out of 80 graduates in 1885, and his degree helped him land his first engineering position. Eiffel began his work as a metal builder, specializing in bridges above everything else. Over the ensuing decades, he worked on a number of them, letting mathematics figure out how to create lighter, stronger structures.
