Curriculum
Mobility scheme
DREAM students will spend their first semester in France to acquire background in Power Systems and Automatic Control.
They will move for the second semester to Germany, Spain or Romania.
The third semester can be undertaken in any of the partner institutions, by choosing one specialization.
They will move for the second semester to Germany, Spain or Romania.
The third semester can be undertaken in any of the partner institutions, by choosing one specialization.
The mobility scheme will thus consist in visiting 2 or 3 EU countries in the first 3 semesters.
Semester 4 is devoted to the Master’s Thesis and can take place in any of the partner or associate partner.
The students will then receive double or triple degrees.

-
The fourth semester is dedicated to the Master's thesis (30 ECTS).
Language
The language of instruction and examinations is English. The thesis is also written and defended in English. Students also have language and culture courses as a part of the first semester and the third semester. During the second and fourth semesters, language courses will be offered outside the master’s programme for students who want to further improve their language skills. As a consequence, each student will use three languages (English and two local languages). Mastering the local language will be important if students carry on to work in one of the host countries.
