Overview
The FAME+ Master is a two-year Master of Science Program in Advanced Functional Materials. It is taught in English (100%) at seven universities, leaders in the field.
This Functional Advanced Materials and Engineering (FAME) from the University of Bordeaux provides high-level academic and researchoriented education on the synthesis, characterization and processing of all classes of materials with emphasis on “Advanced Hybrid Materials and Ceramics by Design” in Bordeaux.
The program helps students develop a creative thinking mindset and leadership skills, along with a keen awareness of social and industrial needs, thanks to innovative learning practices that include extensive, collaborative projects.
European mobility is mandatory during the two-year Master program thus taking advantage of the complementary skills of the universities in the network. In the last decade, more than 200 students have graduated from the FAME+ Master.
Academic cooperation: Université de Liège, Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium), Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (coordinator), University of Bordeaux (France), Universität Augsburg, Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany), Universidade de Aveiro (Portugal).After this Master program?
- After completion of this Master, students are encouraged to apply for Ph.D programs in Europe.
- Graduates may also start working as scientists or R&D engineers within the industrial sector.
- More than 70% of the FAME+ Master graduates from Bordeaux have successfully pursued their studies with a PhD opportunity. These PhDs have been carried out in Bordeaux (~33%), in France (~50%) and in Europe (~87%).
Programme Structure
The FAME+ program consists of four semesters including a Master thesis in a European research laboratory.
- The first two semesters establish a firm background in Chemistry and Physics of Materials. Professional skills are developed through the FAME+/e project.
- The third semester is dedicated to a specialization provided by one of the partner universities as world-leading expert. It is composed of mandatory and optional courses. For students studying in Bordeaux, the specialization is “Advanced Hybrid Materials and Ceramics by Design”.
- The last semester is dedicated to the Master thesis, prepared in the academic or industrial research laboratories of the FAME+ network.
