UTBM trains engineers who are quickly ready for the workforce and particularly adaptable to technological advancements and societal changes. Its programs are grounded in research and commercialization.
As a key player in the ongoing renewal of product lines—and thus in innovation—mechanical and ergonomics engineers (formerly known as EDIM) take into account the human being in all its dimensions—from muscles and bones to emotions—in their design and evaluation work, while incorporating the fundamentals of ergonomics, design, and sustainable development.

This diagram illustrates the structure of the degree program at UTBM leading to an engineering degree accredited by the CTI (Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur), equivalent to 300 ECTS credits.
The program is divided into two main phases: the core curriculum (2 years) and the engineering specialization (3 years).
The program spans 10 semesters (for a total of 5 years) following high school graduation:
Years 1 and 2 (Semesters 1 through 4): Core Curriculum (general education).
Years 3, 4, and 5 (Semesters 5 through 10): Engineering specialization.
After graduation: Students may continue on to a master’s degree (BAC+6) or a doctorate (BAC+8).
Core Curriculum (Semesters 1–4)
This period corresponds to two years of general education following high school graduation. It is marked by two major experiences:
Between Semester 1 and Semester 2 (for high school graduates): A 1-month technical internship.
Between the 3rd and 4th semesters (for students entering after one year of college): A one-month international experience.
Intermediate Degree: At the end of the fourth semester, students can earn the DEUTEC (Diplôme d’Études Universitaires de Technologie).
Engineering Specialization ( Semesters 5–10)
These three years are open to students with a two-year post-secondary degree (admitted through the CGPE entrance exam, based on a DUT or university degree) and to those with a three-year post-secondary degree.
Halfway through the program, students choose a track to shape their career path. An intermediate degree, the “Bachelor’s in Science and Technology,” is also awarded at the end of semesters 5 and 6.Students can choose between two enrollment statuses to pursue their specialization:
The 5 engineering specializations under the “STUDENT” status
: Energy and Electrical Engineering - Industrial Engineering - Computer Science - Mechanical Engineering - Mechanical Engineering and Ergonomics
The 4 engineering specializations under the “APPRENTICE” status
: Energy and Electrical Engineering - Computer Science - Industrial Logistics - Mechanical Engineering and Transportation
Internships and projects for students: Semester 7:
A 6-month corporate internship.
Semester 10: The 6-month final-year project (PFE). B. Visual note: For apprentices, a QR code links to the work-study schedule. 4. Transfer Pathways and Graduation Opportunities
Parallel Entry Points: It is possible to join the program at any stage: at the BAC+1 level, at the BAC+2 level (via competitive exam or based on qualifications), or at the BAC+3 level.
Dual Degree: Starting in the 8th semester, students have the option to pursue a dual degree (Master’s or foreign degree). [Insert your paragraph here]

Two 24-week internships at companies in France or abroad:
These are two key milestones in your education.
The final project is very often a stepping stone to your first job: it must therefore be part of a well-thought-out personal plan.
As part of certain course units, students may be required to carry out a project in collaboration with a company or an external organization. If they are required to visit the company (discuss this with the instructor responsible for supervising the course unit), they must have the department office associated with the course unit they are taking draw up a P2I internship agreement covering them. The actual time spent at the company may not exceed the individual limit set by the THE schedule mentioned in the Course Units Guide.
At UTBM, the academic year is punctuated by career fairs, technical conferences, and other themed events. And beyond these group events, every student has ongoing opportunities to connect with managers or UTBM alumni who can help them shape their career plans.
For four days, you will work in multidisciplinary, multi-level project teams on topics proposed by our industry partners.
At UTBM, the BAIP (Office for Career Placement) serves as the link between students and companies.
Its network of 3,000 companies facilitates productive connections.
