Summary

The Master degree program Fluid Mechanics and Energetics (FME) taught in English includes advanced courses in fluid mechanics, heat transfers, and transport phenomena. You will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge thanks to a 5 to 6 months internship conducted in a laboratory or industrial research center.

Objectives

Our Master degree in Fluid Mechanics and Energetics encompasses advanced courses in fluid mechanics and applications in:
• Energy (turbo-machinery, nuclear energy, oil industry)
• Sustainable energy (wind or solar energy) and development involving hydraulics (rivers,off-shore and marine science),
• Transport phenomena and combustion in aerodynamics or space sciences,
• Chemical engineering and transport phenomena in: microfluidics with bio-assays, biotechnologies, MEMS or actuators,
• Metallurgy,
• Petroleum, oil & gas industry.

Our high-level training is given based on thorough scientific and technological knowledge.
