Aims of the programmes
The department provides academic and applied training in the specialisms Industrial electrical engineering and Automatic control, first at Licence level. It aims to give students a solid grounding for further study at Master’s level, in industrial electrical engineering, instrumentation and automatic control.
The programme develops skills in the analysis, design and maintenance of electrical and automated systems. It emphasises scientific, technical and digital knowledge matched to industrial requirements. Students are trained in modern tools such as programmable logic controllers and simulation software, and the department draws on its laboratories and technical platforms to strengthen practical skills.
Graduates go into a range of occupations: control engineer, instrumentation engineer, electrical engineer, industrial computing specialist or maintenance technician. The department thus plays a key part in training staff able to meet the needs of the national industrial and energy sector.

The course structures for the three Master’s programmes are not reproduced here: on the source page, three of their tables are separated from their headings and the order of the sheets does not allow them to be assigned to a specialism with certainty. They will be published as soon as the department provides its original files.
