The “n+i” network master’s courses are directed at engineering students and young engineers with a first degree (or a qualification considered equivalent by the “n+i” network).

Master’s degrees are acknowledged internationally thanks to the Bologna process.

Under European rules, Master’s courses are required to be comprised of 120 credits (see ECTS) after the first degree, over two years, which we shall call M1 and M2.

 

The “n+i” network and its members take sole charge of assessing the correspondence of your country’s credits with European credits and their relevance to the course you are applying for.

 

In 90% of cases, the M1 and M2 parts each comprise two periods of equal length, known as M1a and M1b, M2a and M2b. In some cases candidates will be required to take a special course over the summer which is part of the overall degree.

 

M1 Period		Summer	M2 Period
M1a (30 ECTS)	M1b (30 ECTS)		M2a (30 ECTS)	M2b (30 ECTS)
LESSONS	LESSONS		LESSONS	INTERNSHIP-PROJECT
Approx. 5 months	Approx. 5 months		Approx. 5 months	Approx. 5 months

NB: In some cases, credits will be not be divided equally between each part (eg. M1 of 45 ECTS and M2 of 75 ECTS). In this instance, the M2 may last 12 months.

• The “n+” Masters, also known as a Master’s with Honours: an engineering degree awarded by a prestigious school.

• The “i” Masters: a more specialised course, focused on a scientific or technological field.
