Homepage > Education and Training > The Polytech' Marseille engineer / the 3 branches


The educational project of the Marseilles Polytechnic University School aims to prepare engineers over three years, with generalist training targeted towards a professional branch of industry.

The School thus trains engineers who are capable of meeting high-level professional requirements in the three specialised fields :

. Mechanics - Energetics (ME)
. Microelectronics and Telecommunications (MT)
. Industrial Engineering and IT (GII)


The School firstly wishes to confirm the brand image and know-how acquired by these three branches. In using the synergies created, the specialised fields are henceforth strengthened thanks to a shared pedagogical schematic based on :

. Importance placed on experimental training and projects
. Priority placed on teamwork and personal work
. Development of guided self-learning
. The predominance of training in professional behaviours
. This pedagogical schematic is closely linked to the NTICE (New Technologies in Information and Communication in Education)


Engineering studies last for three years, but applicants may enter the School in the second year, if they are holders of a French Masters' Degree, or a diploma with a level equivalent to BAC +4 (four years after the Baccalaureate).

The courses for each branch are held over 6 semesters :
. A Core Subject cycle lasting 3 or 4 semesters
. An Option or Advanced cycle in the second and / or third year, depending on the branch


This course also enables easier access to the specialised subjects taught in the other branches of the School, or to DEA or DESS courses. It furthermore enables the student to integrate in specific training programs run in other schools in France or abroad (by agreement).
