Program Benefits

(3)

Major in Telecommunications and Networks

The French Master’s Degree in Engineering is officially entitled Diplôme

d’Ingénieur.

In some countries, people are generally worrying about the Diplôme word,

which often refers to institutions and programs at a lower level. In France

however, this is quite the opposite: the French State only allows the final year

degrees it recognizes as such to be granted the Diplôme title.

The French Master’s Degree in Engineering is indeed delivered by institutions

accredited by the CTI (Commission of the French Ministry of Education) –

this is the highest level of recognition by the French State for Schools of

Engineering. Like ECE, these institutions are most of the time members

of the French Conference des Grandes Ecoles (the top Grandes Ecoles are

comparable to the Indian Institutes of Technology – IIT’s).

For many reasons, the French Master’s Degree in Engineering is considered

by companies as the most efficient degree for embracing all of their

industrial activities, even in research and development. First of all, it is

attracting the best students studying science after Baccalaureate (fresh

out of high school). Secondly, the programs leading to the French Master’s

Degree in Engineering are always matching scientific, technological and

managerial skills in such a way that the future engineers will prove rapidly

their professional efficiency and their ability to manage complex projects.

The comparison between the French Master’s Degree in Engineering and

the different Masters in… or Masters of … delivered in various universities

highlights undoubtedly the significant advantage of FMDE owners on

the job market. Their fast-moving progression within companies, be it in

technical or in managerial positions, highlights the perfect adaptation

of their training program to the expectations of various organizations

(whether producing goods or services).

This explains why the French companies operating overseas and

interested in hiring Engineers are particularly attracted to applicants

with a French Touch. Students acquire the latter when they study for the

French Master’s Degree in Engineering.

As a Master’s Degree, the French Master’s Degree in Engineering is

recognized all over the European Union and benefits from the reputation

of France’s technological savoir faire throughout the world.
