Master's in Eco-Design and Advanced Composite Structures (EDACS)

The composite industry is on the rise.

Composite materials help developing solutions to modern challenges such as the pursuit of lightness and performance. Innovation is at the heart of this growing field where numerous materials and manufacturing processes available help developing complex parts, incorporating different functions and with design with far bounded limits.

IMT Nord Europe decided to train the future actors of this highly-technical industry, taking into consideration the ecological transition. During this Master's degree, the students will be made aware of the composite materials’ environmental impacts and lifecycles, thanks to a real-world scale learning experience.

Douai being at the heart of the automobile and train sectors (Toyota, Alstom, etc.) and Lille appointed as the European Design Capitale in 2020, all the elements are in place at IMT Nord Europe to make this a very sought-after MSc program.
