ISFIN - Master Instrumentation, Measurement, Metrology

Several tracks including a new international track in the field of nuclear energy (fission and fusion)

This master's degree offers five courses to meet the needs of research, R&D and industry:

• Industrial Instrumentation Engineering (3I)
• Instrumentation of Test Facilities (IME) in co-accreditation with the CEA and INSTN
• Micro Sensors and Detection Systems (MSD)
• Commercialization in Scientific Instrumentation (CIS)
• Instrumentation and Measurement Science for major Nuclear research facilities (IMSci-Nu) (scheduled to open in October 2022)

The Instrumentation of Test Facilities (IME) program created in 2004 and the new international program Instrumentation and Measurement Science for major Nuclear research facilities (IMSci-Nu), are fully in line with the thematic perimeter of ISFIN's activities.

Specific strengths of the first year of the IMM Master's program

• Common core of 575 hours of teaching
• Several possibilities to follow the training :
  • training at the university followed by an internship in industry, academia or R&D
  • training with an apprenticeship or professionalization contract alternating courses with an activity in a company or a research unit (university laboratory, research center, research organization, etc.)
  • Continuing education and validation of acquired experience (VAE) for employees or people returning to school
• An introduction to research module in conjunction with the LIMMEX laboratory (joint laboratory between the CEA, AMU and CNRS on nuclear instrumentation) and with educational visits
• The possibility (upon selection) of a short international mobility (MOBIL-APP) with partners in the nuclear field: Nuclear Reactor Laboratory of MIT, European nuclear centers (SCK-CEN, NCBJ, JSI), Moroccan nuclear center CNESTEN
• Skills developed through laboratory or company activities in internships or work-study programs
