Physical engineering
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 4286

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

Nuclear Engineering and Energy

Nuclear Engineering and Energy

With this course, our engineers operate in the field of energy and more specifically in nuclear power plants (conception, exploitation, dismantling).

They master energy production systems and acquire skills in radioprotection/safety and instrumentation/ nuclear measurements.

Advanced instrumentation

Physical engineering and sensors

This course reinforces the dual competence in electronics and applied physics. Engineers are able to conceive complete instrumentation systems from the sensor to the man-machine interface. This course includes specific applications in photonics. Two options in the third year : Instrumentation and connectivity and Biomedical instrumentation.
Signals, Telecommunications and Embedded Systems

Embedded systems and automation

Connected devices, vehicles, satellites, radars …
Our students are trained to innovate in the field of communication systems and industrial processes.
They master the conception of electronic systems using advanced algorithms.

ACADEMIC MOBILITY

Incoming students who want to study for a semester at ENSICAEN can enroll in English-taught programs offered during the second year of our Master studies in Physical Engineering and Embedded Systems

For any questions regarding the application procedures and the deadlines, please contact international@ensicaen.fr.

Please note that if you would like to come as an exchange student as part of a cooperation agreement between your institution and ENSICAEN, you must be nominated by your International Office.

Zoom on the Immersive Electronic Project

Every year since 2013, the engineering students from the majors “ Instrumentation Physics & Sensors” and “Embedded systems and automation” 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 Physical engineering 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.
