MSc Mechanical Engineering Advanced Manufacturing (M-ENG AM)

                            

Progamme Objectives

This specialism in Mechanical Engineering develops skills for providing innovative and optimized solutions in the advanced design and manufacturing of products and structures for both research and industry.
The courses rely on both theoretical and practical aspects and cover the following areas: mechanical design of innovative mechanisms and products and customer-oriented design of products. Technical, human and economic factors are taken into account.
The programme of study lasts two academic years - denoted by M1 and M2 and is taught in English. It comprises three study semesters followed by a paid Master's thesis / internship in the final semester.
Our Master's programmes in Mechanical Engineering are fully accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
