Diplôme d'ingénieur en Matériaux-Chimie - Matériaux et mécanique (apprenticeship) at ENSICAEN

Apprenticeship track of the ENSICAEN matériaux-chimie diploma (Bac+5, RNCP 40223) with 30 places, taught by CIMAP and CRISMAT researchers and labelled by the NextMove competitiveness cluster. It combines materials expertise with numerical simulation, mechanics and materials forming.

Faculty: ENSICAEN engineering cycle  |  Duration: 3 years (Bac+5)  |  Study mode: apprenticeship (work-study); taught in French  |  Intake: September  |  Location: Caen, Normandie, France

What you will study

Teaching covers mechanics of materials (general mechanical properties, strength of materials, fracture mechanics, behaviour laws), numerical simulation with CAD and mechanical prediction, and materials forming including alloy production, manufacturing chains, assembly and finishing. Apprentices alternate periods of about five weeks at the school and five weeks with the employer, are paid by the employer throughout, and the employer covers the training costs.

Career pathways

Graduates predict and characterise the behaviour of mechanical parts and design and produce new products to strict standards.
