Master of Engineering - Telecom Bretagne
The curriculum of the French Master of Engineering ("Diplôme d'Ingénieur", taught in French) from Telecom Bretagne allows the students to best express their skills and talents and to develop competences in line with their professional project.
Organisation in semesters
International students can adapt the curriculum to the academic requirements of their initial institution, and is more flexible for those students wishing to alternate classes with periods of professional or international experience.
According to their profile and admission mode (see Education System), students have to validate either 6 or 4 semesters at Telecom Bretagne in order to obtain the Master of Engineering degree. Most International students are Bachelor holders and therefore study for 2 years only (see also Bridging Semester).
A "Year in industry" programme is on offer and makes it possible for students to have a valuable experience between semesters 4 and 5.
Semester 1
is a common-core semester (30 credits), offered only in the autumn. It is a transition and adaptation semester and provides for a broadening and deepening of scientific culture as well as acquisition of methods of learning particular to an engineering school. It includes lectures from the 5 modules (24 credits) and a project (6 credits) as well as language classes.
These five modules are :
- The cornerstone of knowledge
- Introduction to the science and technology of information and communication
- The engineer and technology in society
- The tools of the engineer
- The engineer at the centre of it all
Semesters 2, 3 and 4
offer courses (spring and autumn) in five domains, allowing students to choose certain domains as majors (system design, acquisition of knowhow, further in-depth study) and others as minors (basic understanding of systems rather than analytical or technological aspects).
See also: Definitions of Major and Minor.
Each semester (30 credits), students acquire credits by:
- validating exams in one major (16 credits) and one minor (8 credits)
- doing a project (6 credits)
In parallel, they learn two foreign languages up to a required level.
