The objective of this major is to prepare generalist engineers capable of putting their skills to work in the world of healthcare to design innovative systems in the field of biomechanics (prostheses, medical robotics, etc.), but also in the field of e-health (digital hospital, telemedicine, information systems, etc.).

In addition to a number of subjects that are designed to enable future engineers to familiarize themselves with the world of healthcare, you will be able to choose between the following two technical tracks to develop specialist skills:

E-healthcare
Biomechanics

Part of the courses are in English.

La majeure Ingénierie & Santé a reçu le label Medicen, du pôle de compétitivité santé Medicen Paris Region. Ce label atteste de l'excellence de la formation et de son adéquation avec les besoins du secteur. Il représente également une garantie pour les entreprises de la healthtech, et assure une visibilité auprès des acteurs de l'écosystème médical.
