Industry 4.0 University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour

Overview

Current trends on digital technologies represented by the Internet of things, cyber-physical systems, social networks, cloud computing, big data and cognitive computing have provided the basis for a new industrial revolution named Industry 4.0.

Our Industry 4.0 Computer Sciences Master degree at University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour offers a 1 year, full-time postgraduate program, aimed at providing solid scientific and technological foundations in order to innovate, design and develop future digital organisations based on the new Internet of Everything (IoE) paradigm.

It is suited for students planning both an academic or an industrial career and provides the theoretical basis and the practical expertise required to pursue in research or R&D organizations.

The master is fully taught in English and is hosted at the College of Sciences and Technologies for Energy and Environment (STEE) of the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (UPPA) in Anglet (France).

The STEE College has been founded in the framework of the prestigious French Initiative of Excellence label I-SITE (Initiatives Sciences, Innovation, Territories and Economy), obtained by our E2S-UPPA project.

The program is carried out in close collaboration with the LIUPPA research laboratory and several R&D organisations, where scientific and experimental practicals will be performed. Students will also benefit from the global research environment and administrative support of the University Pau & Pays Adour, the E2S I-site program.

Objectives

• Prepare students at an advanced specialised level to meet present and future scientific and technological challenges in digital industries and enterprises.
