  • Further studies

    Once you've obtained your Industrial and Computer Engineering diploma, you have a wide range of options for further study:

    • Specialized Masters recognized by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (Bac+6)
    • Master 2 in General Management from IAE Aix-Marseille University
    • Toulouse Master's degree
    • Doctoral theses

Teaching environment

The course's project-based pedagogy (Practical Teaching, Micro-Projects, Technical Realization Projects, End-of-Study Projects) confronts student engineers with problems of increasing complexity over the course of the semesters, culminating in professional issues directly related to industry.

To make it easier for students to enter the workforce and develop their entrepreneurial spirit while providing theoretical training, Polytech Marseille offers students project-based teaching, internships and the possibility of a professionalization contract as part of their engineering curriculum.

  • Professional integration

    As numerous studies and surveys have shown, France has a shortage of engineers, particularly in the field of Industrial Engineering. In line with the development of the industry of the future (Industry 4.0), the Industrial Engineering and Computer Science specialization offers a modern and relevant vision of the engineering profession, and the engineers who graduate from it are positioned in all industrial and economic sectors, whether in large groups or in the SME-SMIs that are sources of numerous jobs.

  • Project-based teaching

    Since 1994, the Industrial Engineering and Computer Science (GII) program has incorporated professional training techniques into its teaching methods, based on real-life learning situations developed around different types of projects, each with very specific teaching objectives, where work is carried out in teams of 5 students. This pedagogical approach is subject to a continuous improvement process.

    The course is made up of 60% "traditional" teaching (lectures, tutorials and practical work) and 40% projects. The proportion of projects in the training (from 24 to 50%) and the proportion of self-study in the projects (from 50 to 75%) vary increasingly from semester to semester.

    Practical training" projects (EP)

    The aim is to solve problems whose scope is limited to theoretical teaching. Teams are put in the position of solving problems for which they do not necessarily have all the a priori knowledge, which forces them to adopt a self-learning approach. Each EP represents a workload of 16 hours over the course of a week. Teams are supervised by a teacher for 8 hours.

    Micro-Projects (MP)

    The aim is to solve complex problems (professional case studies) requiring the mobilization of all the knowledge of a Teaching Unit in a given field (Industrial Engineering, Automation or Computer Science). Teams are given a full week's full-time work (35 hours). They are required to submit a written document and give an oral presentation. Each team is supervised by a teacher for 4 hours.

    Technical Achievement Projects (TRT)

    The aim is to solve a complex problem by means of a technical achievement (hardware and software) in conjunction with a research team or a company. The TRT draws on all the technical, scientific and management knowledge and skills acquired during the course. They represent a workload of 200 hours per student, spread over 10 weeks in the fourth year. Each team is tutored by two teachers.

    Industrial Application Work (TAI) projects

    The aim is to solve a complex industrial problem involving all the dimensions of the course, and applying the technical and management skills of the Industrial and Computer Engineering profession. Each team is tutored by two teachers in collaboration with the industrialist who poses the problem. The TAI project takes place during semester 9 and represents a workload of 200 hours per student.

  • Courses

    Students in our program take part in three compulsory internships, during which the skills acquired are assessed by the internship supervisor and the school's teaching staff.

    • 3rd year: company discovery internship, 4 to 8 weeks, starting mid-June
    • 4th year: introductory research internship (SIR) in an international laboratory, 12 weeks, starting mid-May
    • 5th year: industrial development internship, 17 weeks minimum, starting in March.

    A non-exhaustive list of companies (large corporations, ETIs, SMEs, start-ups) in which 5th year internships have taken place and led to employment is available in the "sector companies" tab.

    The 4th year internships are supported by the GII program, AMU and institutional bodies for the award of grants.
