Master's Degree in Engineering, Paper science, print media & biomaterials - Apprenticeship

Summary

A professionalizing approach

You are supported at each stage of the development of your projects (training, professional...).


An active and collaborative educational system helps you develop your knowledge, skills and teamwork. It introduces you to project-based management and, more generally, teaches you how to learn. The human, economic and business sciences — essential to any engineer — are taught from the first year.




Technological platforms allow you to benefit from practical training on industrial pilots (paper machines, printing presses, cutting table, thermopress, extruder, sleeping bench, 3D printers), on scientific equipment (environmental electron microscope, rheometers) and on simulators.
