2. SECOND CYCLE

The teachings of the second cycle are sanctioned by the national diploma of sciences and techniques and comprise the following specialities :

  • Mechanical engineering

  • Electrical engineering
  • Civil engineering
  • Electronics and instrumentation
  • Productics

3. THE THIRD CYCLE

1. D.E.S.S

The higher specialized studies diploma (D.E.S.S.) sanctions a specialized and applied training, conceived and achieved, eventually, with the help of organisms in the socio-economic sector. It's open, preferably, to the holders of applied B.Sc. degrees (maîtrises appliquées).

The studies for the obtaining of this diploma last between two and four semesters. They comprise :

a-  Teachings in the concerned speciality sanctioned by written, oral and, eventually, practical examinations.

b- One or many trainings at the end of which, the student prepares a training memoir focusing on a practical subject chosen in a common agreement between the concerned higher education and research institution and the organism where the training has been achieved.

2. DOCTORAL STUDIES

The doctoral studies comprise a cycle sanctioned by the obtaining of the advanced studies diploma (D.E.A.), followed by the preparation of a thesis for the obtaining of the doctorate diploma.

  • D.E.A : the studies for the obtaining of advanced studies diploma comprise :

    a- Teachings in the concerned discipline aiming to advanced training, initiation to research and to pedagogy and, eventually, a complementary training in annex disciplines.

    b- Preparation of a research memoir focusing on an original subject.

The studies for obtaining this diploma last four consecutive semesters divided as follows :

    • Two semesters reserved to teaching                                                                                                                                 

    • Two semesters reserved to the preparation of the memoir and, eventually, to research training and complementary pedagogical training.
  • Thesis : the normal duration to prepare a doctorate is three years.

The habilitated institutions deliver the doctorate diploma, mentioning the discipline, to candidates having presented and defended successfully a thesis with an original contribution on a research subject and establishing that he possesses the general culture, the mastering of scientific methods and the spirit of analysis and synthesis required.
