Master of Science and Technology in Complex Systems Engineering (MScT CSE)

The MScT CSE mixes Sciences and Management courses, and combines analytical rigor with creativity, research with implementation, in a multicultural environment. This international master prepares students and young professionals for careers in companies, global corporations or non-governmental organizations, or research to pursue their studies by a PhD.

National Diploma - Master's degree accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education

The programme has been designed as an “On Campus” scheme. The current worldwide Sanitary Crisis may restrict International Mobility, and Centrale Méditerranée adjusts its organization to help applicants and secure selected students.

The Master CSE is a unique International Programme in Complex System Engineering with a core programme and 2 specializations related to priority worldwide topics : Environment and Biomedical.

Complete Programme: Content 140ECTS / 1 150h / Full English Track

Environmental Engineering (CSE 2E)

CSE 2E Syllabus adresses land-use planning in a context where climate change imposes global sustainable solutions: Urban warming, Energy efficiency, Water management, Aridity, Soil Erosion and Desertification, Air pollution, Green processes and Circular Economy, Risk management
 

Biomedical engineering (CSE BME)

In a context of life expectancy’s increase, new pandemic threats, climate change and exhaustion of fossile resources, biotechnologies represent hope to address these crucial challenges. At the crossroads of engineering and life sciences, bioengineering brings a new paradigm as well as innovative solutions for issues on health, disability inclusion, sustainable production, reduction of the ecological footprint, or even innovative modes of power production.

Living matter is characterized by a high level of complexity that comes from its multiscale & dynamic organization. The Centrale Méditerranée’s master track in Biomedical engineering addresses such complexity of life and of major future challenges by covering a large number of topics related to biomedical engineering:

• Multiphysics and multiscale tissues & systems modeling,
• Quantitative imaging for diagnosis and therapy, imaging techniques & devices,
• Bioinformatics/statistics, data science & machine learning, signal & image processing,
• Material sciences and biomechanics, CAD & design of medical devices,
• Biotechnologies, bioprocesses & chemical therapy.

This Master aims at training bicultural engineers with strong and broad scientific & technical skills, coupled with solid experience in management, innovation & research.

The Master of Sciences and Technology in Complex Systems Engineering is open to students and young professionals from all over the world. Diversity of cultural background and gender are valued. The master’s course is fully taught in English - B2 level (independent user) is required
