A new international Master in Mechanical Engineering for Industry 4.0

This one-year programme is taught in cooperation with the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Arts et Métiers – ENSAM (France), the University of Cincinnati (USA), and the University of the Basque Country (Spain). Students are required to participate in courses that originate from each of the partner institutions. As such, all courses are delivered remotely, and workshops may be organised onsite. At the end of the year, students must also complete a mandatory internship abroad in a partner company or institution, leading to a Master thesis.

17 students per year may register for the programme: 4 each from the University of Bordeaux, ENSAM and the University of the Basque Country, and 5 from the University of Cincinnati. Students wishing to apply at the University of Bordeaux must have completed the first year of the university’s Master degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Upon completion, students will master the scientific basis necessary to understanding and promoting the concepts related to the Factory of the Future in industry, from both a design and an industrial point of view. The skills developed in entrepreneurship will allow students to use this knowledge coupled with their creativity to design tomorrow’s industrial life and launch their own start-up or company.

The programme is also a valuable opportunity to create strong links between French, American, and Spanish student communities, thus promoting not only academic exchanges but also solid linguistic, cultural, and personal exchanges.
