Polytech Nantes offers scientific and multidisciplinary training courses which correspond to high-level international master's degrees (Master of Science, Master of engineering with Honors). Scientific, technical, professional, linguistic, social and human elements are critical aspects of the course and the hallmarks of a French engineer. French speaking students may attend any semester's programmes in French.

Five engineering specialities currently offer engineering semesters in English: • Computer science (Spring and Autumn – M1 and M2 level) • Electronic and digital Technologies (Autumn semester only - M2 level) • Electrical engineering (Autumn semester only - M2 level) • Process and bioprocess Engineering (Autumn semester only - M2 level) • Thermal and energy Sciences (Autumn semester only - M2 level)

The school has agreements with more than 50 foreign universities and companies, as well as European universities through Erasmus+ exchange programs. It allows Polytech Nantes to receive and send students wishing to gain experience of working abroad. Its international partnerships have allowed Polytech Nantes to develop a complete range of programs taught in English,

International master's degrees :

  • Master 2 Data Science / Advanced courses in data science, performing analyses and interpreting data.
  • Master 2 Electrical Energy / Advanced courses in electrical energy (sustainable development, multi-source systems, energy conversion...)
  • Master 2 Microalgae Bioprocess Engineering /Advanced courses to develop industrial processes for microalgae valorization.
  • Master 2 Thermal Science and Energy /Advanced courses in heat transfer, fluid mechanics and energy systems.
  • Master 2 Visual Computing /Advanced courses in visual information acquisition, processing, analysis and rendering.
  • Master 2 Wireless Embedded Technologies /Advanced courses in the design and control of wireless communicating objects.

General information

It is located on three distinct campuses:

The school was created in January 2000 through the merging of three existing engineering schools: ESA-IGELEC, IRESTE, and ISITEM.
