Credentials and Career Path - Master's Degree

A range of master's degrees structured around major technological challenges

The National Master's Degrees in Arts et Métiers around four major areas of study, reflecting the institution's main fields of scientific and technological expertise.

These programs are all based on the same educational and scientific foundation: training through applied research, supported by Arts et Métiers laboratories and technology platforms, with a strong emphasis on experimentation, real-world systems, and contemporary industrial issues.

Each major encompasses several specialization tracks, allowing students to build a coherent scientific and professional project related to the challenges of industry, technological transition, and sustainable development.

Distinctions and career path - National Master's Degree in Arts et Métiers

1 - "Energy" major - National Master's Degree

Presentation

Energy, the environment, and sustainable development: these three complementary themes are at the heart of a unique network of Arts et Métiers technology platforms, offering students direct access to cutting-edge equipment for experimenting with, characterizing, and modeling complex systems.

Students evolve in a training environment strongly oriented towards applied research, allowing them to work on devices at the scale of real industrial systems, in close collaboration with scientific teams and academic and industrial partners.

This gradual immersion in technological platforms promotes the development of advanced skills in multi-physics analysis, instrumentation, prototyping, and performance optimization, and prepares students for careers in research and development, high-level engineering, and doctoral studies in France and abroad.

The training program lasts two years:

2 - Major in Industrial Engineering - National Master's Degree

Presentation

Industrial Engineering is at the heart of the challenges facing industrial organizations undergoing transformation, integrating the technological, organizational, economic, environmental, and societal dimensions of production systems.

Students evolve in a training environment strongly oriented towards applied research, enabling them to analyze and optimize the entire life cycle of products and systems, from design to production, including industrialization and logistics.

The program draws on Arts et Métiers laboratories and technology platforms, offering direct access to advanced tools for modeling, simulation, experimentation, and industrial performance management, in close collaboration with scientific teams and industrial partners.

This gradual immersion in real industrial environments promotes the development of skills in complex systems engineering, data and decision modeling, technology project management, and organizational innovation, and prepares students for careers in research and development, advanced industrial engineering, and doctoral studies.

Depending on the chosen path, the training is organized in two ways:

  • Core curriculum in M1, then specialization in M2
    A first year of core curriculum (M1) entitled " Factory of the Future – Industrial Engineering " ( Arts et Métiers Paris campus), followed by a second year of specialization (M2) of your choice.
  • Integrated program on a single campus
    Some programs offer an M1 + M2 structure on the same campus, without having to attend the core curriculum in Paris.

3 - Major in Mechanical Engineering - National Master's Degree

Presentation

The Mechanical Engineering program aims to train specialists capable of analyzing and mastering complex mechanical systems in constantly evolving industrial environments.

The courses offer an integrated approach to mechanics, emphasizing manufacturing processes, materials science, and systems approaches, with a strong and ongoing link to digital modeling and simulation tools.

The program is fully in line with the dynamics of industrial transformation, combining experimentation, advanced modeling, and a detailed understanding of physical phenomena. It draws on Arts et Métiers laboratories and technology platforms, offering students direct access to cutting-edge equipment for the manufacture, characterization, and analysis of real mechanical systems, as well as a pool of lecturers and experts with a variety of profiles. 

It prepares students for careers in research and development, high-level engineering, and doctoral studies.

Depending on the chosen path, the training is organized in two ways:

  • Common core curriculum in M1, then specialization in M2
    A first year of common curriculum (M1) " Factory of the Future – Mechanical Engineering " ( Arts et Métiers Paris campus), followed by a second year of specialization (M2) of your choice.
  • Integrated program on a single campus
    Some programs offer an M1 + M2 structure on the same campus, without having to attend the core curriculum in Paris.

4 - Specialization in "Health Engineering" - National Master's Degree

Presentation

The "Health Engineering" program is positioned at the crossroads of two fields rich in innovation: engineering sciences and biomedicine. This program is the result of a partnership between Paris Cité University and Arts et Métiers, which offer complementary expertise: life sciences and biomedicine at the Parisian university, and engineering and technology at ParisTech.

Transdisciplinarity and internationalism are the two pillars of the Master's degree in Health Engineering, which is aimed at students from a variety of backgrounds: biology, chemistry, health sciences, but also engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physics. The main objective is to provide them with skills in the main areas of biomedical engineering, which are experiencing significant growth in terms of both research and industrial development.
