Introduction
This program is provided by INSA Toulouse and Toulouse INP
This master joint program between Toulouse INP-ENSEEIHT and INSA Toulouse is a gateway to jobs or doctoral research in electronics for embedded systems. It is aimed at students with a Bachelor degree in electronics, electrical engineering, telecommunications, computer science, robotics, physics or equivalent.
Major themes
Aeronautics and Space • Autonomous / connected vehicle • Transport • Robotics • Mechatronics • Embedded systems • Renewable energies • Smart grids • Smart city • Mobility • Connected objects • Electric networks • Health monitoring • IoT
Aims of the program
- Enroll top-level international students in the field of electronics.
- Provide the most up-to-date teaching in electronics for embedded systems, in tight relations to the aeronautics industry as well as prime-level research institutions.
- Graduate students who will take part in research activities as Ph.D. or R&D engineers will have an opportunity to build an international career.
Research Institutions and Industrial Partners
The lecturers are from the "Aerospace Valley", which regroups renown research laboratories (LAAS, Laplace, IRIT) and worldwide industry leaders in aeronautics, space and embedded systems (Airbus, Thales, Continental, Astrium, Rockwell Collins..).
The students can benefit from this partnership network in the framework of their project or the search for an internship.
Focus
- Masters of Science are national degrees fully accredited by the French ministry of higher education.
- Further studies: PhD program (3 years).
- All MSc Degree holders are allowable to take a step forward in the academic track to get the PhD degree.
- Pre-requisite: Bachelor’s degree.
- Holders of a Master’s degree can directly enter the second year under conditions.
- Toulouse INP and INSA Toulouse welcome many international students each year and are more than happy to help them for practical and administrative formalities.
- Tool’Box pack will take care of you from A to Z : You can get the « essentiel » pack with all options (except for guided tour) or « cité internationale » pack.
