" Ingénieur diplômé" (in French)
Polytech Nantes offers scientific and multidisciplinary training courses[3] which correspond to high-level international master's degrees (Master of Science, Master of engineering with Honors). These programs have been awarded the European label EUR-ACE.
- Electronics and digital technologies
- Civil engineering
- Electrical engineering
- Process and bioprocess engineering
- Computer science
- Materials science
- Thermal and energy science
- Energies (by apprenticeship)
- Networking and telecoms systems (by apprenticeship)
- Control command of electric systems (by apprenticeship)
Scientific, technical, professional, linguistic, social and human elements are critical aspects of the curricula and the hallmarks of a French engineer..
French speaking students may attend any semester's programmes in French.
International programs (in English)
Five engineering specialties currently offer semesters taught in English:
- Computer science (Spring and Autumn – M1 and M2 level)
- Electronics and Digital Technologies (Autumn semester only - M2 level)
- Electrical engineering (Autumn semester only - M2 level)
- Process and bioprocess Engineering (Autumn semester only - M2 level)
- Thermal and Energy Sciences (Autumn semester only - M2 level)
The graduate school has agreements with more than 50 foreign universities and companies, as well as European universities via Erasmus+ exchange programs. Polytech Nantes welcomes and sends students wishing to gain experience of working abroad.
These international partnerships have allowed Polytech Nantes to develop a complete range of programs taught in English (International master's degrees):
- Master 2 Data Science / Advanced courses in data science, performing analyses and interpreting data.
- Master 2 Electrical Energy / Advanced courses in electrical energy (sustainable development, multi-source systems, energy conversion...)
- Master 2 Microalgae Bioprocess Engineering /Advanced courses to develop industrial processes for microalgae valorization.
- Master 2 Thermal Science and Energy /Advanced courses in heat transfer, fluid mechanics and energy systems.
- Master 2 Visual Computing /Advanced courses in visual information acquisition, processing, analysis and rendering.
- Master 2 Wireless Embedded Technologies /Advanced courses in the design and control of wireless communicating objects.
Polytech'Nantes offers several Ph.D programs in Science and Technology, respectively:
- MATHSTIC ("Mathematics, Information and Telecommunications Science)
- SPI (Science for the Engineers)
- 3M (Matter, Molecules and Materials)
These Ph.D. programs are supported by several research laboratories, all associated with the CNRS:
- Digital Sciences Laboratory of Nantes (LSN)
- Electronics and Telecommunications Institute of Rennes (IETR) - Nantes campus
- Nantes Atlantique Electrical Engineering Research Institute (IREENA)
- Jean Rouxel Materials Institute (IMN)
- Institute of Research in Civil Engineering and Mechanics (GeM)
- Laboratory of Bioprocess Engineering, Environment and Agrifood (GEPEA)
- Nantes Thermokinetics Laboratory (LTeN)
It is located on three distinct campuses:
- "La Chantrerie" 47°16′59.16″N 1°30′51.16″W in the city of Nantes
- "Gavy" 47°15′2.11″N 2°15′29.07″W in the city of Saint-Nazaire
- "La Courtaisière' in the city of La Roche-sur-Yon
The school was created in January 2000 through the merging of three existing engineering schools: ESA-IGELEC, IRESTE, and ISITEM.
Polytech Nantes is a department of the University of Nantes and a member of the Polytech group, which is a network of 15 graduate engineering schools within France's leading science universities located in Marseille, Nantes, Montpellier, Nice, Annecy-Chambéry, Grenoble, Paris Upmc, Paris sud, Clermont-Ferrand, Orléans, Tours, Lyon, Lille, Nancy and Angers.
