Depending on your track record or your professional/research focus, some prerequisites/corequisites of your first year program might appear in bloc 2. You are therefore invited to go through the list of courses suggested in bloc 2 even if you enroll for the first time in this master program.
To complete their curriculum, students must earn or validate the 55 credits of the compulsory courses (including the master thesis and internship), 10 credits of a thematic, 25 credits of optional courses and 30 credits from the professional focus.

Ideally, students enrolling in the master program should have acquired the skills and knowledge corresponding to the 40 credits in "Mechanics" offered as part of the bachelor program in engineering.
