M2 Materials Engineering: Development, Characterization, Applications (MEDCA)
Presentation
Presentation
MEDCA (Materials Engineering Development, Characterization, Application) graduates will attend theoretical and practical physics-oriented courses on materials that will include Life cycle assessment (recycling) and the environmental impact(eco-designing). They will then acquire skills in the fields of polymers,composites, nanomaterials, metallic materials and ceramics,
Objectives
The MEDCA course objectives are:
- To give students Mastery of the characterization concepts and techniques of Materials Engineering with a view to training general managers in this industrial sector.
- To help students acquire skills in the fields of polymers,composites, nanomaterials, metallic materials and ceramics,
Knowledge and skills
At the end of this program, the students in the "M2 Materials Engineering: Development, Characterization, Applications (MEDCA)" will be able to:
- Participate in the development and implementation of various materials (polymers,composite materials, elastomers, nanocomposites, nanomaterials) for the development of products or prototypes via 3D printing.
- Analyse material transformation techniques or processes in order to to optimize the production tool.
- Carry out qualification and quality control tests to participate in the overall effort to improve the quality of production.
- Write reports, projects, technical reports.
- Carry out expertise missions on existing products in order to identify by example the origin of the degradation of parts under industrial operating conditions.

Admission
Access condition
This course is intended for students originating from fields where physics, engineering, physics,,mechanical, construction, materials in the broad sense are predominant.
English Language requirements
Applicants must be fluent in English, both in writing and speaking. An applicant whose native language is not English has to take a recognized international English test.
Minimum required score: CECRL B2 level in English
Inscription modalities
Target group
- Both international and national students
Expenses
Administrative tuition in France is determined at a national level. The French Ministerial Order of April 19, 2019, amended on June 9, 2020, sets university tuition for a Master Program as follows: European nationals: €243, extra-European nationals: €3770.
For academic year 2021-2022, the Board of Directors has extended its policy of automatically providing partial reduction of these fees at the UPPA. As a result, extra-European nationals will be granted automatic partial reductions such that they will be able to pay the same enrollment fees as European nationals.
Extra fees:
In addition to academic tuition, most students must pay a student body fee (CVEC, which cost €92 in 2020-2021).
NB: Admitted candidates in any course of study who have taken a break of more than two years from their studies will enroll via the UPPA’s Continuing Education service (Formation Continue / FORCO). They are exempt from the CVEC, however they may be subject to a different tuition scale.
