EnglishComplex Systems
This Master’s degree meets the need for engineers, trained at an international level, able to design, implement and manage “complex systems”.
Overview
Environmental, biological or human systems, which lie at the core of current major challenges, are “complex systems” whose overall behavior is controlled by the interactions of all its multiple elements.
Understanding, modeling and handling such systems require specific skills that students will acquire through the exceptional academic and applied training environment of this Master’s program. lt will provide you with a rich interdisciplinary educational experience in biomedical engineering and prepare you for a professional career in optimal conditions.
Beyond the wide academic knowledge gathered, you will also enrich yourselves with a broad range of experiences:
- Labs/companies visits, seminars...
- Soft-skills and management courses
- Up to 10 months of work & research placements (projects, clinical/research/ company internships...)
- A multicultural international experience in southern France & Learning the French language
This Master’s degree aims at training bicultural engineers with strong and broad scientific & technical skills, coupled with solid experience in management, innovation & research.
National diploma - Master's degree accredited by the French Ministry of higher education.
Complete program: content 140 ECTS / 1150h / full english track.

Biomedical engineering
In a context of life expectancy increase, new pandemic threats, climate change and exhaustion of fossile resources, biotechnologies represent hope to address these crucial challenges. At the crossroads of engineering and life sciences, bioengineering brings a new paradigm as well as innovative solutions for issues on health, disability inclusion, sustainable production, reduction of the ecological footprint, or even innovative modes of power production.
Living matter is characterized by a high level of complexity that comes from its multiscale & dynamic organization. The Centrale Méditerranée Master's track in Biomedical engineering addresses such complexity of life and of major future challenges by covering a large number of topics related to biomedical engineering:
- Multiphysics and multiscale tissues & systems modeling,
- Quantitative imaging for diagnosis and therapy, imaging techniques & devices,
- Bioinformatics/statistics, data science & machine learning, signal & image processing,
- Material sciences and biomechanics, CAD & design of medical devices,
- Biotechnologies, bioprocesses & chemical therapy.
