Master Ingenierie De Conception — Thermique - Energétique

Tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

Thermal and energy engineering, the specialization named here as Thermique - Energétique within the Ingénierie De Conception program, is a branch of mechanical engineering concerned with how heat and energy move through systems and how those systems can be designed efficiently. Typical coursework covers thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, combustion, refrigeration and air conditioning, and the design of energy-producing or energy-consuming equipment such as boilers, heat exchangers, and HVAC systems. Students also encounter energy efficiency analysis, renewable energy technologies, and regulatory frameworks around energy consumption in buildings and industry. Career paths for graduates of this field include energy engineer, HVAC systems designer, energy efficiency consultant, and thermal systems engineer in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, and utilities. This master's degree is offered by Université Bretagne Sud in Lorient, France, with instruction delivered in French. The program spans two years and is scheduled to start in September, with yearly tuition set at 250 EUR. Beyond the core technical subjects, students often work on applied projects that involve modeling energy flows, sizing equipment, or proposing efficiency improvements for existing installations, giving them practical exposure to the kind of problem-solving expected in industry roles. The discipline sits at the intersection of mechanical engineering and environmental concerns, since decisions about heating, cooling, and energy production have direct implications for both cost and emissions, and graduates are often called on to balance technical performance with these broader constraints.
