Master solar Energy: engineering and economics

The Solar energy engineering and economics master's degree is an innovative academics that prepares students to meet the current and future challenges of the energy transition. The Master's program is developed jointly by the Polytech Annecy-Chambéry engineering school, the Institut d'Administration des Entreprises - IAE Savoie Mont Blanc, and the Faculty of Law. High-quality teaching, multi-disciplinary projects, stimulating creativity and entrepreneurial skills.

The two-year academics offers two courses taught in English:

  • Energy for Solar Building and Cities, focusing on engineering
  • Solar Energy: Law Economics and Management, focusing on economics

Solar Academy, the university research school (EUR) of theUniversité Savoie Mont Blanc, is located on the Bourget-du-lac campus, on the premises of the INES (Institut National de l'Énergie Solaire) and next to the Polytech Annecy-Chambéry engineering school.

Its mission is to become a national and international leader in scientific research, engineering, business, economics and law for a low-carbon model of distributed production and consumption. At the heart of its organization is a multidisciplinary approach, to enable the large-scale use of solar energy resources. The challenge is to transform this potential into real electricity production.

The Solar Academy combines practice and theory in the fields of solar and building physics, computer science, materials science, business, law, sociology, architecture and urban planning.

Courses are taught in English by international experts and highly-recognized partners from research institutions and industry, as well as byUniversité Savoie Mont Blanc academic staff. Disciplinary and international mobility, as well as immersion in an international research environment, are an integral part of the curriculum, bringing added value to students in terms of academics and research.

International mobility grants, prizes for the best projects, and scholarships for excellent academic results are all available.

  • An innovative introduction to engineering sciences
  • Solar energy, a fast-growing renewable energy sector
  • Energy efficiency in the building sector, responsible for over 40% of global primary energy consumption
  • Unique multidisciplinary teaching

Master Advanced Mechatronics

The Master's degree in Complex Systems Engineering offers a research-oriented, international Advanced Mechatronics course taught in English. Where the physical and digital worlds meet, mechatronics is a process that integrates - in synergy - several sciences and skills (in electronics, mechanics, automation and IT). This enables us to imagine and design products and systems offering enhanced or improved functionality. The design of a product or system needs to be seen in the context of its overall life cycle, and as part of a cooperative, interdisciplinary approach.

The aim is to enable students to imagine, design, implement and operate a mechatronic system or product as part of a research or R&D project, and to prepare them for doctoral studies.

Graduates can continue their studies with a doctorate, working as senior executives in public or private R&D centers, and occupying high-level technical and scientific positions in specialized design offices.

Master's students develop the skills needed to meet the requirements of a multidisciplinary project in mechatronics, and become familiar with the demands of a research activity through blended learning.

3 main skills are developed during the program through supervised sessions, online courses, self-study and project- and problem-based learning:

■ Define and solve research problems
■ Manage a (research) project
■ Contribute to the design and production of a mechatronic system.

The master's program is supported by the SYMME LABORATORY laboratory, but also on the activities of 2 other Polytech Annecy-Chambéry laboratories LISTIC and LOCIE.

Given its interdisciplinary nature, its subject matter and its teaching methods (with a strong emphasis on projects), other laboratories atUniversité Savoie Mont Blanc may be involved, such as the LAPP and the LIBM.

International mobility grants, prizes for the best projects, and scholarships for excellent academic results are all available.

Master of Management and Business Administration

The Master's program is built in partnership with the Polytech Annecy-Chambéry engineering school andIAE Savoie Mont Blanc. Students earn a Master's degree in addition to their engineering diploma.

Future engineers enrich their business skills with managerial competencies in accounting, finance, law, economics and human resources.

The Master's degree in Management and Business Administration prepares students for high-level executive positions. Companies are looking for managers who, on the basis of strong initial skills, are capable of running a business in all its human, technical and managerial dimensions.

Resolutely action-oriented, academics focuses on the acquisition of operational know-how, tools and methods, both through courses and practical seminars, and through in-company experience in the form of tutored projects or internships.
