Thermal Science and Energy is an academic curricular of the Mechanics Master's Degree. It is a two-year degree (M1 + M2) but only the second year (M2 Thermal Science and Energy) is accessible at Polytech Nantes.

Prerequisites for enrolment

Advanced materials with sizes ranging from nano to macro are at the core of many modern technologies. Therefore, it is important to understand and control the material properties from the atomic to the macroscopic scales. The "Physics and technology of advanced materials" MSc specialization focuses on understanding and manipulating the physical properties of materials to discover new features with application relevance. The deepening in the specific domain, mentioned above, is particularly important given the need for knowledge of how to obtain monocrystalline or nano-microsystems with well-defined properties and qualities and how to characterize their properties.

The curriculum can be found on the faculty website, at:... [-]
