TRAININGS

The training consists of classical courses and practical work, as well as a lot of lab work. Besides, students are required to show their individual skills while carrying out individual projects and training, whereas their abilities for team work are required for industrial projects.

The courses are organised in 3 sets of semesters

  • basic and theoretical subjects
  • sciences for the engineer
  • the service sector and communication techniques

These various courses are spread out over the 3 years.

During semesters 1 and 2 , which are the same for both courses of studies, students learn fundamental notions.

In the second year (semester 3 and 4), according to your wishes and the results obtained at the end of the first year, you will join one of the two courses of studies :

The knowledge gained in the first year is improved and applied during the second year, particularly during the projects.

During semester 5, some lectures are given in common to both courses of studies, while a choice between 35 varied modules is given to students, who can thus customise their training. For the student taking one of the DEA's (Postgraduate Certificate prior to PhD), some DEA courses count as 3rd year modules.

The whole semester 6 is spent in a company.
