*Pending approval from the French Ministry of Higher Education for the 2008/2009 academic year*

At UTT, we have been delivering graduate education for more than a decade now. The master's degree has been created by using the scientific, technical and innovation abilities of our university. Its aim is to mobilize UTT's, pedagogical, professional and research resources.
Currently expanding, the UTT Master of Science, Health and Technologies, has been offering a new range of programs since September 2008, including 9 different specializations.


Educational objectives

The first educational objective of the UTT Master of Science, Health and Technology is to provide education that is both consistent and diversified within the scope of our main specializations. This is done progressively for 3 semesters, starting off with basic scientific and technological modules, followed by specific ones.

In addition to this core content, all the students of the Master of Science, Health and Technology are also offered courses to ensure they have some foreign language, project management and basic research skills.

It is essential to offer each student a formation which is adapted to their knowledge and needs, and build up individual learning scheme that will lead them as quickly as possible towards successful professional placement.


Professional objectives

UTT has developed and maintains good relationships with several companies and firms. These relationships are fundamental to facilitate the professional placement of our graduate students.

To optimize this placement, the UTT Master of Science, Health and Technology has several assets:

the Student-Enterprise-Relationship service is dedicated to collecting internship opportunities from companies to offer them to students ;

the First-Job service is dedicated to the career planning and placement of the graduate students;

the alumni association offers job opportunities through their internet site ;

several professionals from different public and private companies and associations contributing to all aspects of the program ;

mock job interviews with company representatives ;

information concerning the labour market through the Internet or our documentation center

The Master's program emphases

The UTT master's program offers 3 different emphases: Mechanics and Physics, Information Technology and Communication Sciences, and Engineering and Management. These emphases have been chosen according to the specific competence of UTT, either in the research or the business field.

Mechanics and physics emphasis

The Mechanics and Physics emphasis reflects the tradition of academic excellence at UTT either in research or teaching in the fields of mechanics, physics and their related materials. The purpose of this formation is to give learners knowledge, tools and techniques directly linked to mechanics, nanotechnologies and new materials.

Information Technology and Communication Sciences emphasis

The rapid growth of the information society over the past few years has led to a major spreading of the Communication and Information Technologies (TIC) in all fields of activities and has created important training needs. UTT wishes to address these needs with the STIC emphasis and wants to train specialists in the technologies using computer science and modeling, which are the driving force behind technological innovation.

The STIC emphasis is based on the information and communication sciences and technologies' fundamental competences, which are divided into three fields of study: Systems' Optimization and Security (OSS); Information Systems Security (SSI); Information Technologies for the Management of Knowledge and Networks (TICOR).

Management and Engineering emphasis

The final objective of this formation is to provide future decision-makers and project managers from the private or public industry with knowledge, methods and tools, along with a certain ethic, addressing three domains with currently decisive stakes: Environment; Security and Sports.

This emphasis deals with managing the complexity of the socio-technical systems. The complementary competences provided by Engineering Sciences, Management and Humanities are meant to optimize the management of businesses and services, and facilitate the development of innovative projects in these three fields.
