Engineering physics
and embedded systems

Master of Science

Energy, transport, information systems, health … The training completed in ENSICAEN prepares engineers capable of providing innovative and optimized solutions in many fields.
With fundamentals in mathematics, physics, measurements and signal processing, our students are trained in sensors and instrumentation engineering, digital processing and energy. Once they have graduated, our engineering students are capable of integrating the research and development department of large groups or innovative SME, in France or abroad.

Research-oriented Learning

Courses are given by research professors from three excellent laboratories approved by the CNRS : CIMAP, GREYC, LPC Caen, by associate professors and experts from different industrial sectors.

The course is registered in the National Directory of vocational qualifications : document number 40224

Major to choose
from in the second year for a personalized course

Nuclear Engineering and Energy

With this course, engineers work in the energy sector, particularly in nuclear power plants, from design and operation to decommissioning.

They develop expertise in energy production systems, radiation protection and safety, instrumentation and nuclear measurements.

Physical Engineering and Sensors

This course combines electronics and applied physics. Engineers learn to design complete instrumentation systems, from sensors to human-machine interfaces.

The course also includes applications in photonics. Two options are available in the third year: Instrumentation and Connectivity and Biomedical Instrumentation.

Embedded Systems and Control Engineering

Connected devices, vehicles, satellites, radars… Engineers are trained to design and innovate in communication systems and industrial processes.

They develop expertise in the design of electronic and embedded systems, using advanced algorithms.

Incoming students

Academic mobility

Incoming students wishing to study at ENSICAEN for one semester can apply for English-taught courses offered during the second year of the Master’s programme in Physical Engineering and Embedded Systems.

Fall semester – 2nd year of the Master’s programme

For information about application procedures and deadlines, please contact international@ensicaen.fr .

Zoom on the Immersive Electronic Project

Every year since 2013, the engineering students from the majors “ Instrumentation Physics & Sensors” and “Embedded systems and control engineering ” do role-play in the form of technological contests. In a limited time, the goal is to find the best technical solution while keeping a project management and a customer relation beyond reproach.

ADMISSIONS

Become “ensicaennais” !

International students who wish to pursue an academic period to study for a Master of Science degree in Engineering physics and embedded systems and depending on their level of studies are admitted to the Bachelor 3, Master1 or Master2 year. According to their mobility project, they have the possibility between being an exchange student, a double degree student or a fully enrolled ENSICAEN student.

The quality of how they are welcomed, the accommodation and their integration is a major preoccupation of ENSICAEN.

That is why they are taken care of by the International Club’s engineering students when they arrive and receive support from the International Relations Office which provides continuous follow-up to facilitate administrative and logistic procedures. The international students also participate in cultural and convivial events organized by the International Club or the Student Office during the year.
