Engineering cycle

The engineering specialties, which recruit different scientific profiles on entry(see admissions section), are organized into autonomous departments under the responsibility of a director. Non-scientific courses, as well as English, are cross-coordinated to encourage a mix of students who will be well-prepared to work in multidisciplinary teams in the future.

All courses include group or individual projects and periods of work experience (internships every year and/or work-study programs). International mobility (study stays at partner universities, laboratory/company internships) is an integral part of the curriculum. To take professionalization a step further, events are organized to familiarize students with the job opportunities and professions for which they are destined, and to put them in contact with engineering graduates from their specialization, as well as with companies hiring in their field.

In all other specialties, the final year of the engineering cycle is available on a sandwich course basis (contrats de professionnalisation).

With a view to training dual-skilled engineers who are highly valued on the job market, all Polytech Marseille courses offer the possibility of preparing double degrees thanks to collaborations with other establishments:

• Polytech engineering double degree + Master's in management from Kedge, ESC Marseille
  Contact: nathalie.lavandet@univ-amu.fr
• Polytech engineering double degree, specializing in Industrial and Computer Engineering + IAE Aix-Marseille, Aix-Marseille University business school (Available in the final year of the engineering cycle)
• Polytech double degree in Civil Engineering + Diploma in Architecture.
  The Civil Engineering specialization enables students to pursue a double degree: engineering diploma + architect's diploma. This course starts exclusively in the first year of the preparatory cycle at Polytech Marseille. Once admitted to the PeiP course (via the Gipi-Polytech competitive entrance exam) + Archi competitive entrance exam (via the ENSAM competitive entrance exam).

• Research Masters
  Research masters programs are available to students in their final year who are interested in research careers or pursuing a thesis.
  The biomedical engineering stream offers an original double curriculum (in 5th year): engineering diploma + research master's degree in "Physics of Ionizing Radiation", which prepares students for the Radiophysicist competitive examination, as well as research master's degrees in "Biomechanics", "Imaging" or "Regulatory Affairs".
  The Mechanics and Energetics stream offers the opportunity to follow the "Dysphasic Collisions, Energetics and Combustion" research master's degree.
