Admission

Entry requirement

Academic requirement

The Master’s Degree is a two-year degree. At Polytech Nantes, only the second year is accessible, so applicants should hold a degree which is at least a 4-year degree in higher education (i.e. a 3-year Bachelor is not acceptable) and should be in one of the following fields: Applied Physics, MechanicalEngineering, Chemical Engineering.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate (from transcripts of their degrees) good knowledge in, not necessarily all, but in most of the following fields:

• mathematics (tools for engineer)
• thermodynamics
• heat transfer
• fluid mechanics
• digital methods (coding)

Programme

Academic curricular in Thermal Science and Energy (program)

First semester (S9) - (30 ECTS)

Fundamentals of heat transfer (Physics and engineering of heat transfer, Convective and radiative heat transfer)
• Experimental and digital methods (Experimental methods, Digital methods)
• Fluid mechanics (Fundamentals, Turbulence and turbulent flow, Hydrodynamic stability and Dynamic systems)
• Heat transfer in solids and heterogeneous media (Heat transfer at interfaces, Heat transfer during composite injection, Heat transfer with phase change, Polymers and composite thermophysical properties)
• Energy systems (Thermal energy storage)

First semester (S10) - (30 ECTS)

The second semester is dedicated to a fulltime scientific and technical internship (minimum 5 months) related to a research & development project conducted in academic labs or private companies.

Validations of both the exam session and of the master internship (defense and report) lead to the French Master’s Degree from the
Nantes Université.
