Program Overview

MASTER'S DEGREE IN ELECTRONICS, ELECTRICAL ENERGY, AND AUTOMATION

The Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Energy, and Automation (EEA) from the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Montpellier enables students to acquire cutting-edge scientific skills, ensuring that graduates are optimally prepared for the job market. The program is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the disciplines of electronics, electrical engineering, automation, and signal processing.

Program Structure

The program is structured as a two-year course, with the first year consisting of two semesters. The first semester is common to all EEA Master's programs, providing basic theoretical knowledge and cross-disciplinary skills in the EEA disciplines. In the second semester, students take courses specific to their program. The program also includes courses in English and social sciences.

Specializations

The program offers several specializations, including:

• Electric Power, Environment, and System Reliability
• Electrical Energy, Environment, and System Reliability - Apprenticeship
• Photonics, Microwaves & Communication Systems
• Photonics, Microwaves & Communication Systems - Apprenticeship
• Integrated and Embedded Electronic Systems
• Integrated and Embedded Electronic Systems - Learning
• Robotics
• Robotics - Learning
• Sensors, Electronics, and Connected Objects
• Sensors, Electronics, and Connected Objects - Learning
• IDIL - Photonics & Electronics Sensors for Environment & Health
• RADiation and its effects on Phonics Technologies (RADMEP) - Erasmus Mundus

Course Details

Each specialization has its own set of courses, which are designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge and skills in their chosen area of study. For example, the Electric Power, Environment, and System Reliability specialization includes courses on electric power systems, energy management, and system reliability.

Admission Requirements

Applications can be submitted on the following platforms:

• French & European students: follow the "My Master's Degree" procedure on the website
• M2 students: submit application via the e-candidat application
• International students from outside the EU: follow the "Études en France" procedure

Target Audience

The program is designed for students with a bachelor's degree in electronics, applied physics, automation, mechatronics, computer science, electrical/electronic/mechanical engineering, or applied mathematics.

Mandatory Prerequisites

Candidates must have a solid academic background in digital/analog electronics, electrical engineering, power electronics, automation, computer science, industrial computing, and signal processing. They must also have a solid foundation in mathematics and physics.

Expected Results

The success rate calculated on the LMD4 is approximately 87%.

Continuing Education

After completing their master's degree, students can pursue a doctorate in academia or industry in a field related to their studies, which will lead them to a level equivalent to eight years of higher education.

Professional Integration

Students who have successfully completed this program are offered two career opportunities:

• Access to careers in industry: the path chosen by around 70% of graduates. Numerous opportunities in the field of microelectronic integrated circuit and system design and testing.
• Access to research careers: 30% of graduates pursue further studies to become R&D engineers or researchers.

The typical jobs available are:

• Project manager (research)
• Senior executive in scientific studies and applied or fundamental research
• Senior executive in industrial studies, research, and development
• Chargé d'affaires
• Teacher (if eligible for competitive examinations for certification)
• Teacher-researcher (if master's degree followed by a doctorate)
