Master of Mechanical Engineering

Objectives

The Master of Mechanics sprepare students for careers as Research and Development-oriented engineers in one of the mechanical engineering disciplines: Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Energy & Environment or Acoustics. Graduates also have the skills to continue their training through fundamental or applied research in Mechanics by embarking on a doctoral project.

Organization

The Master's degree in Mechanics is a two-year program. It offers a core curriculum to grasp the fundamental knowledge and skills required by all mechanics. At the same time, students choose specialized courses in one of the following areas:

  • Solid mechanics ;
  • Fluid mechanics ;
  • Computational Mechanics;
  • Energy and environment ;
  • Acoustics.

A two- to four-month industrial or research internship is included in the first year. Project-based learning is offered in many teaching units. In the second year, an end-of-studies internship is compulsory. It can be carried out in a laboratory or a company.

 

Target audience and prerequisites

For entry into 1ère year: holders of a BAC +3 diploma (general bachelor's degree or equivalent) in mechanics, physics or mathematics.

For entry into the second year: holders of a BAC +4 or 5 diploma (Master 1, other Master's degree, engineering diploma or equivalent).

A solid background in mechanics, physics or mathematics is required. Admission is based on an application and interview.

 

Job opportunities

Graduates' sectors of activity :

  • Land and air transport industry,
  • Energy industry,
  • Building and construction industry,
  • Materials and structures industry,
  • Design offices and engineering service companies,
  • Academic research.
