Programme overview

This 120-ECTS, two-year Master (UFR STGI, sites Montbéliard and Belfort) concentrates on the integration of thermal, electrical and hydrogen-based energy systems with an emphasis on increased efficiency and sustainable development. Teaching and experimental work are strongly linked to the FEMTO-ST Institute and the FCLAB research federation; the programme runs in parallel with a joint degree with UMLP and the final year of the UTBM engineering school. Two parallel tracks are offered within the Master: Thermal Engineering and Electrical Engineering.

What you'll study

The programme develops skills in design, modelling and optimisation of thermal systems, advanced fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, digital engineering tools for heat and fluids, multiphysical modelling and project management. It explicitly covers new and renewable energy technologies, hydrogen energy and energy systems, and prepares students to conduct research and experimental activities.

• Semester structure: two academic years (four semesters, listed as Semesters 7–10).
• Example semester units (Semester 7 listed on the course page):
• UE1 - Laboratory project & French learning (6 ECTS, 16h)
• UE2 - Fluid Mechanics (6 ECTS, 67h)
• UE3 - Transfer Phenomena (6 ECTS, 80h)
• UE4 - Interdisciplinary Courses (6 ECTS, 63h)
• UE5 - Hydrogen Energy & Energy Systems (6 ECTS, 40h)

Entry requirements

The page indicates the Master is offered in multiple study regimes: initial professional training, professional formation, continuing education and work-study (alternance). Specific academic prerequisites and application procedures are managed by the Master STGI admissions office; contact details are provided on the programme page for precise entry criteria.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for positions across transport (land, aeronautic, naval), industrial R&D and engineering, nuclear and conventional energy production, building and construction sectors, mechanical industries and health-related technical roles. The programme also lists doctoral study as a natural continuation.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

The programme page does not list specific scholarships. Prospective students should explore national and regional funding, doctoral or research contracts linked to FEMTO-ST/FCLAB, institutional scholarships, and work-study (alternance) possibilities available through the university.
