Incoming mobility
International exchange student
Télécom Physique Strasbourg (TPS) is a graduate school of engineering (French "Grande École") which is also internal institution of the University of Strasbourg. TPS has been pursuing for several years a policy aiming at attracting motivated students to both acquire new skills on one of the specialties taught at TPS (biomedical engineering, data sciences, physics and photonics) and discover French culture and language. Exchange students coming from partner universities can be admitted at TPS in four different ways:
- A one-semester academic mobility in one of our curriculums open for student exchange
- A mobility for research project in one of the laboratories on which the school leans back
- A full master program: HealthTech
- One of the double-degree or specific programs
ONE-SEMESTER ACADEMIC MOBILITY
The following curriculum are accessible for English-speaking students (B2-level required)
- Dept. of Biomedical Engineering - Engineering with Life and Physical Sciences (Spring Semester)
- Dept. of Biomedical Engineering - Diagnosis and Innovative Medical Treatment (Spring Semester)
- Dept. of Biomedical Engineering - Diagnosis and Innovative Medical Treatment (Fall Semester)
- Dept. of Biomedical Engineering - Innovative Therapies (Spring Semester)
- Dept. of Biomedical Engineering - Innovative Therapies (Fall Semester)
- Dept. of Physics – Photonics (Fall semester)
- Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering – Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (Fall Semester)
Fall semester courses are planned between September and January and corresponds to M2-level courses. Spring semester courses are planned between January and May and corresponds to M1-level courses.
These are the curriculums offered to English-speaking students. French-speaking students (B2-level required) have access to all the school's curriculums described here.
MOBILITY FOR RESEARCH PROJECT
Télécom Physique Strasbourg and the laboratories on which the school leans back offer the opportunity to join us for a mobility semester based on a research project. For such mobility, student have first to get in touch one of the research teams that can accommodate them (see table below) and to identify a research topic that suits her background and professional project. The duration of the research project can be up to 300 hours and can be credited with up to 20 ECTS. Beside the research project, students have to join the French culture and language course unit (40 h, 3 ECTS) as well as elective courses. Due to timetable constraints, all elective courses have to be chosen within the same department and, if specified, within the same track inside the department.
Availability of this mobility and course list associated with each department depends on the semester:
- Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME)
- Department of Physics (PHY)
- Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)
- Department of Computer Sciences and Networks (CSN)
Example of topics for the research project can be found directly of the website of the research teams associated with each department
Research project can also be carried out in the InnovLab of Telecom Physique Strasbourg
HEALTHTECH MASTER PROGRAM
HealthTech offers a highly competitive interdisciplinary graduate program, fully taught in English, dedicated to information science and technology for healthcare. Curriculum topics range from medical imaging, robotics and artificial intelligence to economics, data science and medicine. Curriculums and admission procedures are described directly on the HealthTech website.
DOUBLE DEGREES AND SPECIFIC PROGRAMS
Télécom Physique Strasbourg has some specific programs with partners universities:
- Hochschule Karlsruhe and Offenburg (Germany) : students from these two universities can join a double Master's degree program. In this case, they join Télécom Physique Strasbourg for the fall semester of their Master 2. The courses taken as part of this double degree are described here.
- Universidade de Brasilia (Brazil) : At the end of the first year of a Master's degree at UnB, students can enroll in a double degree program to receive the degree in Engineering of Télécom Physique Strasbourg on the top of the Master's degree from their home university. For that purpose, students have to spend 3 full semesters at Télécom Physique Strasbourg. During these semesters, they will follow lectures (most of them being held in French) of one of the tracks of the Degree in engineering of TPS. List of possible tracks is given here.
- Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China) : Students from this university can join Télécom Physique Strasbourg as part of a 3+3 program. Selected students enroll for the first year at the Institut International d'Études Françaises of the University of Strasbourg to take intensive French courses (200h/semester). In addition, they follow sone French-taught technical courses and work on a research project to validate the HUST Bachelor's degree (BENKE). Students with level B2 in French and the BENKE can then enroll in the Robotics, Imaging and Biomedical Engineering master degree.
Learning for successful integration: FLE (French as a Foreign Language)
FRENCH LANGUAGE AND INTERCULTURALITY
All incoming students will attend the French Language and Interculturality course unit consists of about 40 hours and grants 3 ECTS. The course unit is composed of:
- 25 hours of French as a foreign language teaching
- 15 hours of discovering French culture through trips in Strasbourg organized by a tour guide.
