Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
Admission to the M1 program
- To access the first year of the program, you should be a student of high academic level and have obtained a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering,physics, Earth sciences or applied mathematics.
- No knowledge in fluid mechanics is needed but a basic mathematical background (on partial differential equations for instance) is required.
Admission to the M2 program
- To access the second year of the program, you should be a student of high academic level and have either
- completed the first year of a Master\'s program (M1), or
- graduated from a school of mechanical, civil or chemical engineering.
- Direct admission from a bachelor degree (in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, physics, Earth sciences, applied mathematics) is possible for outstanding students with a sound knowledge of fluid mechanics.
- The M2 program is normally followed by the first year of a PhD. The graduated student can also occupy an engineer position in a company.
English Proficiency: IELTS 5.5 or equivalent.
