About EIT-M programmes: ​​​​​​

The programmes offer mobility, mentorship, networking, innovation & entrepreneurship, and business modules. EIT-M Master’s graduates will generate start-ups or innovate within manufacturing companies and ecosystem, contributing to European competitiveness, environmental sustainability and to the creation of new quality jobs.

The EIT-M Master’s Programmes feature strong participation from industry with real case studies, testimonies and company visits, and internships. 

Five different programmes are on offer through the EIT-M Master School at a consortium of European universities, two of which are available at Génie industriel. Students move from their entry university at the end of the first year to their exit university in a different country for the second year. The language of instruction throughout is English.

EIT-M programme graduates are awarded two Master degrees - one from each university. An EIT Label certificate is also conferred to participants who have followed one of the 5 programmes (with international mobility), taken part in the Innovation & Entrepreneurship courses (in particular the summer school) and successfully completed an internship in industry.
