Targeted competences

The Network-Telecommunications engineering course focuses on the concepts, methods and techniques of signal processing, electronics, and computer science in order to look further, in the final year, into the more specific components of the specialization: telecommunications, networks and distributed computing.
It provides
Cross-disciplinary competences: capacity to manage the economic, financial, human, organisational and technical aspects of a project in the sphere of activity of a generalist engineer for the:
Design of Network Architecture and Protocols, Implementation and Administration of computer networks, taking into account Safety constraints: local and long distance networks, network connections, A.T.M, TCP/IP
Definition of hardware or software configuration based on the concepts of software engineering, coding, filtering: modulation, signal emission and reception of a network interface, software applications, client-server applications, Web applications,
Design of software and circuits for telecommunications: communication protocols, optical communications, terrestrial and satellite radio-communications, real-time applications.
In addition to the general competences of network-telecommunications engineers able to work in all sectors of activity, the course provides in-depth study of more specific topics such as:
formal design and programming of distributed systems
telecommunications and networks
and either:
Multimedia/Internet applications
Embedded Electronics telecommunications.

The five-year engineering programme is organized in semesters as follows:
- a common core programme in the first year
- 2 years of pre-specialization (4 pre-specializations)
- 2 years of specialization (10 specializations)
25% of the course is devoted to human sciences (economics-management, languages, communication, sports)
Compulsory internships for a total of 36 weeks
Compulsory period of 12 weeks abroad
Compulsory minimum level in English required (TOEIC 750), 2nd language
Courses with capitalizable credits
Requirements to enter next year of study : 60 ECTS validated, distributed in 20 units

Professional status
