Throughout the program, students carry out a project under the direction of a professor, either in an industrial company or in a laboratory. They are also supervised by a professor during their internship. The majority of lectures are given in English. A fair knowledge of the French language will, however, be appreciated.
Assessment takes into account the written report and an oral presentation.
French language tuition will be offered throughout the academic part of the program. Campus housing and restaurant facilities are available.
