Certain prerequisites/corequisites of your first-year programme may 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 programme.
To complete their curriculum, students must earn or validate the 90 credits of compulsory courses (including the master's thesis) and 30 credits from the research focus.
Ideally, students enrolling in the master programme should have acquired the skills and knowledge corresponding to the 40 credits in "Physics" offered as part of the bachelor programme in engineering.

Fundamentals of Engineering physics

The subjects MECA0036-2, ELEN0076-1, MECA0025-3 and PHYS0211-3 are corequisite to certain compulsory courses of the master programme. They must be taken as a priority, unless they have already taken as part of the bachelor in engineering, or unless the corresponding knowledge and skills were acquired previously.
