The Master's degree in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Science (AM²S) is positioned at the intersection of the industrial ecosystems of France, Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, and the United States, offering AM²S courses in English for the Master of Science (MSc) degree and the third year of the Grande École Program (PGE) / Master of Engineering (MEng).
The aim is to deepen students' knowledge in the field of manufacturing processes and materials science through multiphysics and multiscale approaches, integrating digital and intelligent concepts. In other words, this program focuses on innovative scientific fields, ranging from the physics and chemistry of materials to the use of manufactured parts, by developing the duality between experimentation and digital simulation.
Arts et Métiers a two-year master's degree in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Science to holders of a bachelor's degree in science or engineering.
MASTER 1
The Master 1 specialization in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Science for Transport and Energy (AM²S-M1) provides a foundation for direct entry into a Master 2 program (e.g., AM²S-M2). This program aims to prepare engineers for industrial and laboratory research while strengthening their knowledge of the physics of manufacturing processes and the fundamentals of material behavior in order to design processes adapted to the desired physical properties. Courses are taught on the Aix-en-Provence campus, in collaboration with the MSMP laboratory and the Learning Factories.
Course content
- First semester: 310 hours (30 ECTS). It includes compulsory teaching units (UE) to acquire skills in mechanics and materials science applied to manufacturing processes, as well as to understand the relationships between materials and processes. A specific UE will introduce students to the key skills for writing scientific proposals and publications.
- Second semester: 300 hours (30 ECTS). It includes a research project in materials science and manufacturing processes, with a focus on advanced materials and processes for optimizing surface integrity (topography, residual fields, microstructure).
- Individual research internship: 6 to 8 weeks in a university laboratory or corporate research department (May-June – 60 ECTS).

MASTER 2
The scientific objectives of the AM²S-M2 program emphasize a high-level scientific approach:
- Deepen the relationship between materials science and manufacturing processes.
- Use multiphysics and multiscale approaches to better understand the relationships between materials, mechanics, and processes.
- Mastering digital tools to optimize the design of high value-added structures and parts.
- Integrate new technologies, including smart digitalization, big data, and digital simulations.
Course content:
- Core courses: 150 hours, 15 ECTS credits, with 5 compulsory course units in the first semester.
- Two courses to choose from : 150 hours, 15 ECTS credits, with 3 compulsory course units and 2 elective course units:
- Materials Science Course
- Advanced Manufacturing Course
- Individual research project: 30 ECTS credits, 6-month internship in a university laboratory or corporate research department.

DOUBLE DEGREE OPTION WITHTEXAS A&M
A dual degree with Texas A&M University (TAMU ) is offered for the M1+M2 program. A full academic year at TAMU is completed in the second year, subject to academic selection after the M1.
The dual degree is obtained with the Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Engineering (ITDE) from TAMU.
Credits from the M1-AM²S are transferred to the TAMU degree. Students must complete 18 semester credits at TAMU, including a research project, which also counts toward the M2-AM²S.
ADMISSION
- Eligible French and international students
- Holders of a Bachelor's degree in science or engineering
- Required English level: TOEFL iBT 81/120 (or equivalent) or IELTS 6.0
- Selection based on academic excellence, motivation, and consistency of the professional project.
