Presentation

The Master's in Health Engineering is a coherent five-year program organized around:
• A solid foundation of basic scientific knowledge, ensuring graduates' adaptability and ability to advance their careers within a company.
• A multidisciplinary approach that allows everyone to understand and communicate with other specialists in a project team.
• Specialization in a particular field and mastery of project management, applied to the field, enable graduates to quickly become operational by combining skills with strategic aspects, regulatory constraints, and human or financial impacts. This multifactorial approach is the subject of tutorials and team projects. It is one of the pillars of the program, which is consolidated during numerous internships (a 5-month internship in M1 and a 6-month internship in M2) and enables our young graduates to quickly integrate into the workforce.
The Master's degree can be completed on a work-study basis (through an apprenticeship or a professional contract).

The advantages of the training program

The success rate is close to 100% thanks to the support provided to students throughout their university studies, which consists of face-to-face classes, independent work, project-based learning, and flipped classrooms.

Internships and work-study programs are also key factors in our students' success.

Please note: The Master's program in Health Engineering has a Learning Lab and funds a TOEIC test in the second year of the Master's program.
