Admission requirements
Holders of a master’s degree or an engineering degree in energy engineering, or of a degree requiring five years of higher education recognised as equivalent by ENIM’s doctoral and habilitation committee in energy engineering.
Complementary training (30 credits)
| Block | Content | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| F1 — Cross-disciplinary training | Scientific communication; languages (TOEIC / TOEFL); scientific writing with LaTeX; university teaching; doctoral seminars; organising a scientific event | At least 8 |
