Engineer Specializing in Physics
High-level training to meet the scientific challenges linked to quantum systems, photonics and nanotechnologies.
Deployed on the Metz campus, the Physics engineering training at CentraleSupélec prepares students to work in cutting-edge fields such as quantum systems, photonics and nanotechnologies.
The program combines skills in applied physics, systems engineering, mathematics, and data science. It is based on an interdisciplinary approach and progressive specialization, working closely with academic and industrial stakeholders in the Grand Est region.
Become an Engineer Specializing in Physics
The course trains engineers capable of combining in-depth scientific and technical expertise with a comprehensive understanding of the issues related to their field.
Students learn to use the technical tools of physics and engineering to analyze phenomena, model complex systems and propose innovative solutions, in an interdisciplinary approach.
They also develop skills in communication, teamwork and independent learning, enabling them to adapt to constantly changing technical and scientific environments.
Course Objectives:
- Train engineers capable of modeling, designing and simulating complex physical systems.
- Develop skills in component and systems engineering for photonics, quantum engineering and nanotechnologies.
- Acquire a systemic and interdisciplinary vision, including an openness to the human sciences and project management.
Program
A 3-year course
The training is spread over six semesters, with academic semesters combined with professional internships. Those in spring (S6, S8, S10) include a period of in-company training (internship). In the third year, students can choose to complete the alternating training, which allows them to work in a company while continuing their studies.
The lessons are divided into areas:
- Humanities, Business and Professionalization
- Applied Mathematics and Digital Simulation
- Quantum Systems, Photonics, Nanotechnologies
- Physics, Engineering and Systems Sciences,
- Computer Science, Data and AI
weeks of internship
minimum weeks of international experience
present in 80 countries
compulsory modern languages
