LEARNING APPROACH
The program is based on a balance between academic and practical activities: lectures, tutorials, seminars, design consultancy, projects related to industrial environments, and internships.
The first 2 years involve many hours of study. Beginning with the 3rd and especially the 4th year, the student is the main actor in their training by choosing a major and different options allowing them to personalize their courses and obtain expertise in a field of their choice.
Business conferences and international openness provide additional skills in building student’s critical thinking and ability to make decisions.
