Master Electronique, Energie Electrique, Automatique

At Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1, tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1 in Villeurbanne, France offers Master Électronique, Énergie Électrique, Automatique, a two-year master's program taught in French that covers three closely related engineering disciplines. Electronics deals with the design of circuits and components used in devices ranging from consumer electronics to industrial control systems. Electrical energy, or électrotechnique, focuses on the generation, conversion, transmission, and management of electrical power, including work on motors, power electronics, and renewable energy systems. Automatique, or automation and control engineering, addresses how systems are monitored and regulated automatically, covering control theory, sensors, actuators, and the software used to manage industrial and robotic processes. Students in a program combining these areas typically study circuit design, signal processing, power systems, control theory, and embedded systems, often with laboratory work that lets them build and test physical systems alongside theoretical coursework. Many programs also include an internship or applied project in an industrial or research setting during the second year. Graduates commonly move into roles such as electronics engineer, power systems engineer, automation engineer, or control systems specialist, working in sectors including energy, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and robotics. The combination of electronics, power engineering, and automation skills is widely applicable given the growing role of automated systems and electrification across industry. Instruction for this program is delivered in French, so applicants should be prepared to study technical engineering content in that language. The program begins in September and spans two years, leading to a master's degree. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Villeurbanne, part of the Lyon metropolitan area, is home to a concentration of engineering schools and industrial employers relevant to this field.
