École polytechnique universitaire de l'Université de Nantes (also known as Polytech Nantes) is a grande école of engineering of the University of Nantes, accredited by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI), the French agency awarding engineering degrees. It is located in Loire Atlantique, which is in an attractive area of strong economic and demographic growth.[1][2]

Programs of study

" Ingénieur diplômé" (in French)

Polytech Nantes offers scientific and multidisciplinary training courses[3] which correspond to high-level international master's degrees (Master of Science, Master of engineering with Honors). These programs have been awarded the European label EUR-ACE.

Scientific, technical, professional, linguistic, social and human elements are critical aspects of the curricula and the hallmarks of a French engineer..

French speaking students may attend any semester's programmes in French.

International programs (in English)

Five engineering specialties currently offer semesters taught in English:

  • Computer science (Spring and Autumn – M1 and M2 level)
  • Electronics and Digital Technologies (Autumn semester only - M2 level)
  • Electrical engineering (Autumn semester only - M2 level)
  • Process and bioprocess Engineering (Autumn semester only - M2 level)
  • Thermal and Energy Sciences (Autumn semester only - M2 level)

The graduate school has agreements with more than 50 foreign universities and companies, as well as European universities via Erasmus+ exchange programs. Polytech Nantes welcomes and sends students wishing to gain experience of working abroad.

These international partnerships have allowed Polytech Nantes to develop a complete range of programs taught in English (International master's degrees):

  • Master 2 Data Science / Advanced courses in data science, performing analyses and interpreting data.
  • Master 2 Electrical Energy / Advanced courses in electrical energy (sustainable development, multi-source systems, energy conversion...)
  • Master 2 Microalgae Bioprocess Engineering /Advanced courses to develop industrial processes for microalgae valorization.
  • Master 2 Thermal Science and Energy /Advanced courses in heat transfer, fluid mechanics and energy systems.
  • Master 2 Visual Computing /Advanced courses in visual information acquisition, processing, analysis and rendering.
  • Master 2 Wireless Embedded Technologies /Advanced courses in the design and control of wireless communicating objects.

Research and doctoral studies

Polytech'Nantes offers several Ph.D programs in Science and Technology, respectively:

These Ph.D. programs are supported by several research laboratories, all associated with the CNRS:

  • Digital Sciences Laboratory of Nantes (LSN)
  • Electronics and Telecommunications Institute of Rennes (IETR) - Nantes campus
  • Nantes Atlantique Electrical Engineering Research Institute (IREENA)
  • Jean Rouxel Materials Institute (IMN)
  • Institute of Research in Civil Engineering and Mechanics (GeM)
  • Laboratory of Bioprocess Engineering, Environment and Agrifood (GEPEA)
  • Nantes Thermokinetics Laboratory (LTeN)

General information

It is located on three distinct campuses:

The school was created in January 2000 through the merging of three existing engineering schools: ESA-IGELEC, IRESTE, and ISITEM.
