Double curriculum
Dual Master's degree in management
With a view to training dual-skilled engineers in high demand on the job market, all Polytech Marseille courses offer a dual degree program: engineering diploma + master's degree in management, in collaboration with Kedge, the Marseille business school.
Double masters in research
Open in 5th year for students interested in research careers and thesis studies: Europhotonics, Nanosciences and Nanotechonologies
Teaching environment
Teaching staff in the program are attached to two internationally recognized research laboratories: IM2NP and Institut Fresnel. Guest lecturers from industry also contribute to the program through specialized courses and seminars. Thanks to its geographical location, the program benefits from strong links with research and industry. These links are reflected in the involvement of our teaching and research staff in :
- The Coordination Nationale de Formation en Microélectronique (network of 12 French centers), CNFM PACA
- The CIM-PACA (Centre Intégré de Microélectronique Provence-Alpes- Côte d'Azur) design and characterization platform,
- The SCS (Secured Communicating Solutions) global competitiveness cluster
- Carnot STAR Institute
Example of scientific equipment
This station assembles surface-mounted components on electronic systems. These are positioned using a remote-controlled (and sometimes video-controlled) control system.
Microelectronics and telecommunications project
Launch of a stratospheric balloon gondola (High Altitude Balloon - HAB): study of a phase meter, LoRa system, communication center with connected objects.
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
Microelectronics and telecommunications engineers graduating from this program join all types of high-tech companies, where they perform a variety of functions in management, research and development, design, marketing or production.
They join either major global groups (STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Airbus, Thalès, Gemalto, Infineon, Orange...), engineering companies or innovative SMEs and start-ups.
