Master’s Degree of Engineering, major in Internet of Things & Smart Cities

Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) is the major driver of growth in the telecommunications market.

Smart devices have become innovation enablers in all industrial fields (transportation, energy, surveillance, industrial logistics, agriculture, healthcare, consumer electronics).

These numerous options mean that companies developing products and services are making important strategic decisions combining their prediction of how markets will evolve and how they will meet this evolution through IoT. As a consequence, the demand for competences in this new and evolving landscape is increasing.

The Smart Cities and Urban IoT program graduates engineers with technical expertise in the IoT infrastructures (licensed and unlicensed connectivity), networking, cybersecurity and data science, as well as with a developed sense of the value chain of IoT and data, and of the opportunity and challenges that they represent.

ESME : The Spirit of Innovation Without Borders

Founded in 1905, ESME is a private, nonprofit school under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and Research. The school has a long tradition of training engineers with a broad, well-developed foundation which allows them to move into any facets of the engineering job market without difficulty.

A recognized engineering school

Member of the consortium of the best French Schools in Engineering and Business «Grandes Ecoles», ESME is also a signatory to the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education and a member of « n+i » network, the international network of Engineering Schools.

ESME’s mission is to train engineers through state-of-the-art research. We seek to contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge and broaden our teaching through industrial and international partnerships.

Student life in France

Recreation also plays its part at ESME with many students clubs ranging from sports to music and wine. The numerous social activities organized within the school represent excellent occasions to experience the French way of life and meet new friends.

In addition, the school’s extensive network of alumni and contacts in the industry enhances international opportunities for internships and careers abroad.

Fundamental Research

ESME provides opportunities for all students to be closely involved in cutting-edge research. Indeed, the high-level interdisciplinary faculty staff is committed to applied research through industrial and fundamental contacts, as well as to academic research within our fundamental research. Research fields cover a large range of subjects from energy systems to medical imaging or forensic sciences, for example.

Partnerships include international groups and start-ups, as well as prestigious national institutions such as INSERM (National Institute for Health and Medical Research) or CNRS (National Institute for Scientific Research). Students are associated with these research activities through internships and projects. Most Masters’ students carry out an R&D project in collaboration with a company or a research institute, under the supervision of a faculty member.
