Curriculum Structure

From scientific foundations to advanced engineering practice.

S5 Foundations in Physics and Engineering +

Engineering students acquire a solid foundation in advanced calculus, quantum and statistical physics, electromagnetism, and solid-state physics, complemented by essential engineering subjects such as electronics and fluid mechanics.

Each module is accompanied by practical projects that allow students to directly apply the knowledge acquired.

Project example: Development of a basic analog circuit or simulation of fluid dynamics.
S6 Advanced Concepts in Physics and Engineering +

Engineering students deepen their knowledge in areas such as semiconductor physics, nuclear physics, and computational methods.

The associated projects include the simulation and experimental validation of complex systems.

Project example: Simulation of the behavior of an electronic component followed by laboratory testing, or simulation of a chemical reaction in a reactor.
S7 Advanced Physics and Engineering +

This semester focuses on innovative topics such as bioengineering, plasma physics, and optical system design.

Engineering students participate in large-scale multidisciplinary projects, strengthening their technical expertise and their ability to work in teams.

Project example: Design of an optical communication system or modeling of plasma behavior for fusion reactors.
S8 Double Specialization in Advanced Engineering +

Engineering students specialize in cutting-edge fields such as nanoelectronics, quantum optics, and atomic engineering.

They carry out major projects ranging from the design of optoelectronic components to the study of industrial reactor safety.

Project example: Design of a small-scale modular reactor or development of an optical sensor for medical applications.
Gap Year Professional Experience, Internships, Research, or Industrial Missions +

After completing the S8 courses, engineering students may benefit from a gap year to gain professional experience through internships, research activities, or industrial missions.

This year allows them to expand their professional network, apply their skills in real-world environments, and gain valuable experience that supports their transition toward advanced engineering in S9.

S9 Advanced Engineering and Specialized Projects +

Engineering students work on highly specialized projects, particularly in nanoelectronics, photonics, and atomic engineering.

They are expected to design integrated circuits, quantum devices, and advanced photonic systems.

Project example: Design of a quantum device for future computing technologies or development of a nanophotonic sensor for industrial applications.
