Under the aegis of the French General Secretariat for Investment (SGPI), a Future Investments Program and submitted to a commission of experts from the academic world and the business world. This program was a unique opportunity enabling us to implement a long-term policy of excellence, to develop interactions with our economic environment, and to attract internationally renowned researchers.
In this context, Clermont Auvergne INP and “Université Clermont Auvergne” (UCA) were awarded the I-SITE label (Initiatives – Science Innovation Territories Economy). This label denots institutes or universities, which promote distinctive and internationally recognized thematic scientific assets. This is a training lever and a point of support for our strategy of development and partnership with the economic world.
In this context, our site we are laureate of an SFRI project “Structured training through research in initiatives of excellence” from the ANR (National Research Agency) within the framework of PIA3 (3rd Future Investment Program – for “Major research universities”. It aims to strengthen the international attractiveness of our training through research in scientific fields where we have strong skills. Within this project, our Institute carries a “Graduate Track” (GT IIM) for intelligent and innovative mobility.
Within this GT, we have 4 Master courses – 2 are open since 2021 with more than 20 students each. The 1st concerns Robotics (Master PAR), the second IT (Master ICS), a 3rd course will open by the end of 2022 concerning advanced mechanics and we also hope to open soon a 4th course around energy. The open courses are aimed at engineers or foreign masters selected on the excellence of their academic records – 7 scholarships were awarded at the end of 2021.
The master’s courses are backed by recognized research laboratories around thematic strengths. We also recruit students for the preparation of doctoral theses and invite international teacher-researchers from high level.
4 MASTER COURSES
- Master’s degree artificial perception & robotics
- Master of science in computer science
- Master of engineering in engineering physics
- Master’s degree in mechanics and materials for sustainable engineering
Master’s degree artificial perception & robotics
Robotics is currently one of the most popular topics, and robots have the potential to solve complex challenges in the areas of transportation, factories of the future, agriculture, medical care, production and food supply.
This master’s degree offers students a multidisciplinary education in the field of artificial perception and robotics. Students will learn how to model, design and control a robotic system in numerous applications, particularly in the specific context of intelligent and autonomous vehicles. This master’s degree will improve the employment prospects of students by providing them with relevant theoretical knowledge and practical skills to become robotics engineering experts in their field. At the end of their course, students will:
• Master the scientific foundations of robotics (mechanics, automatic systems, artificial intelligence…)
• Apply the mathematical tools necessary to model robotic systems.
• Understand, identify and implement the numerical tools involved in robotics
• Capitalize on robotics in order to design complex intelligent systems.
In short :
• Training period: 2 semesters
• Language : English
• Starting in : September
• ECTS : 60
Master of Science In Computer Science
The mission of the international track of our master of science in computer science is to prepare and train the next generation of decision and data scientists. M.S. International-Track students will familiarize themselves with a broad range of theoretical and computational techniques from many areas of the mathematical and computational sciences.
The students will develop an expertise in cutting-edge techniques for decision and data sciences through courses taught by distinguished researchers and significant involvement in research activities. Upon receiving the M.S. degree, these students will be competent not only in designing effective and innovative methodologies for decision making and data management, but also in identifying and implementing the most pertinent software.
The graduating students will be well-prepared to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy degree and hence excel in academic or industrial research-and-development jobs. The M.S. International Track in entirely taught and managed in English to make it accessible to international students who do not speak French. Its program is structured to introduce the students to the foundations of decision and data sciences and make them develop deep knowledge in their chosen area of specialization. M.S. International-Track students enrolled through an exchange agreement with Clermont Auvergne INP might be eligible for a diplôme d’ingénieur ISIMA as well.
In short :
• Training period: 2 semesters
• Language : English
• Starting in : September 2022
• ECTS : 60
Master of engineering in engineering physics
The mobility of people and objects consumes a large quantity of natural resources, in terms of both materials and energy. Energy efficiency, energy sobriety, and decarbonized energies are the keys for a sustainable future.
This master’s degree offers students multidisciplinary training in the field of engineering applied to energy production, storage, supply, and management, including mainly:
• renawable energy (bioenergy, solar from materials to panels)
• hydrogen production and power-to-gas
• sustainable mobility based on hydrogen, power, or liquid biofuels
• energy efficiency for industrial and service sectors
Take advantage of specialized training and research bench-scale to pilot-scale facilities of the chemical and biochemical engineering laboratory, and of the engineering physics workshops (CAD, soldering, 3D printing, physicochemical properties) of POLYTECH Clermont for project-based learning.
In short :
• Training period: 3 semesters at POLYTECH Clermont + 1 semester of internship
• Language : English + additional French language courses
• Starting in : September
• ECTS : 60+60
Master’s degree in mechanics and materials for sustainable engineering
The mobility of people and objects consumes a large quantity of natural resources, in terms of both materials and energy. The design, manufacture, mechanical performance, maintenance and recycling of products must now integrate environmental concerns.
This master offers students multidisciplinary training in the field of mechanical engineering, including in particular:
• mechanical design, integrating the choice of materials according to their impact on the environment
• general knowledge on bio-based materials
• development and elaboration of new biopolymers and biocomposites intended for 3D printing
• management of the life cycle of a part, a product or a structure, including the planning and optimization of maintenance.
Take advantage of specialized training, design and print your own biocomposites in the FabLab, and test the parts in the materials testing lab! And if you need any help, for your study program or in your everyday life, just ask your SIGMA buddy!
In short:
• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering (diplôme d’ingénieur Grande Ecole)
• Duration: 2 years
• Starting in: September
• Training period: 3 semesters at SIGMA Clermont + 1 semester of internship
• Language: English + additional French language courses
• ECTS : 30/semester
