This specialty covers a multidisciplinary training offer with a decompartmentalization of disciplines, an integrated approach to the design of mechatronic systems. This sector gives our students a profile of R&D engineers capable of understanding the complexity linked to the design of systems or microsystems and that of their control.
The objective of this mention (international type) is that students can implement new methods of design, redesign, and calculation of control systems and this by taking into account the energy consumed or put into play, in addition to the expected performances, whatever the application field of the mechatronic systems activated (automotive, aerospace and aeronautics, medical, military, …).
Nowadays, mechatronic systems can be found everywhere: in medical applications (medical robotics, dental machines), in vehicular applications (automatic gear, engines with electronics, automatic and driver-less vehicles), in production industry (industrial robotics, production lines), in aerospace (mobile robotics, robotic arms, actuated wings tillers), in precision systems (atomic force microscopes, hard disk driver, electronic-mechanical watches, microrobotics), in petroleum engineering (extraction machines, actuated networks of pipelines)…
The master is also supported by the internationally renown research center FEMTO-ST (FEMTO-ST).
The ARMAC master’s program takes place over 2 academic years divided into 4 semesters. Each semester corresponds to an accreditation of 30 ECTS, which leads to a total at the end of 120 ECTS. The program has an extensive international flavor, with all courses taught in English. The teaching staff are highly qualified researchers with international recognition.
Internship – 30 ECTS
A degree equivalent to or higher than a Bachelor’s degree (3 or 4 year Degree) with a background in “control systems” (Bachelor of Mechanical or Electrical Engineering). Courses waivers can be given depending on your former undergraduate program content.
The applicant should have a level of English and a background on “control systems” following the UFC/UBFC criteria. Additionally to these, the motivations and the professional project of the applicant are also examined carefully.
Several applications are possible.
° Mechatronics
° Systems of Control
° Robotics
° Aeronautics
° Aerospace
° Automotive
° Biomedical …
Career opportunities are very high because mechatronic systems are found and increasingly developed in a very wide range of applications.
The fact that today’s problematic, like energy consumption in technological devices, is particularly tackled in this master will make graduated students very attractive to industry at the international level.
Furthermore, high skills and specialized students will have been educated making them the best candidates for research and PhD programs in the fields of mechatronics at large, of control, of robotics…
Every year, a very limited number of UBFC scholarships could be offered on the basis of tracks and academic records. Application to such scholarships must be done no latter than the beginning of Master-1.
The site of training is Besançon, a French old city that combines old stones buildings, French culture, various activities from sports to cultural, and students life.
Approximately 10% of the population are students or interns in Besançon city and in its agglomeration.
The center of applied languages (CLA) which is a part of the university is one of the most important center for learning languages in France and hosts approximately 4000 interns per year coming from various countries for some days or for several months.
Public transportation is very practical and the old-city is doable by walks.
