Study
Since 2011, the Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Applied Physics - Electrical and Information Engineering departments have shared a common first-year curriculum. It is designed to provide the solid scientific and multidisciplinary foundation in mechanics and technology that students will need for their master's specialization.
In second year, students in the Civil Engineering Department complete the first year of their master's (M1).
In third year, students have two possibilities:
- the one-year Master of Higher Education Teaching
- Option A, Materials, Structures and Development;
- Option B, Technical equipments and Energy.
- or a year of pre-doctoral research abroad (ARPE -subject to approval by a panel).
In fourth year, students complete their research-based Master's degree (M2). Two programmes are offered by the Civil Engineering Department:
Research
At Cachan, civil engineering research is mainly conducted through LMT Cachan, a joint ENS Paris-Saclay and CNRS
