Research


Polytech'Lille is at the heart of a major scientific and technical centre (the USTL) composed of 47 labelled research laboratories (CNRS, INSERM, MESR, INRIA). Polytech'Lille has a strong human potential, with over a hundred researchers carrying out research activities in laboratories at USTL. Over 100 PhD students work in research teams on the School's premises.

The School covers a broad range of engineering sciences: Electronics, Automatic control, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Civil Engineering, Instrumentation, Computer Science, Microelectronics, Food Engineering. This means that it can carry out multidisciplinary research and provide answers to the complex problems posed by industry.

Its special links with major industrial groups and smaller companies enable the School to direct its research work towards practical problems and thus strengthen the synergies between fundamental and applied research, innovation and technology transfer.

Students at Polytech'Lille benefit from this environment and take part in research activities by working on final-year projects in research teams at Polytech'Lille or in one of the associated laboratories at the University (USTL). They are initiated into research mainly oriented towards industrial applications.

Around 10 to 15 % of Polytech'Lille students prepare a research master's degree alongside their engineering degree during their last year of engineering study and thus obtain a double degree.

Research is also based on a wide range of postgraduate study options: the university offers 20 research master's degrees spread between 4 doctoral schools.

Polytech'Lille offers, in addition to its Engineering degree, 2 research masters degree programmes :

The master's degree in Civil Engineering and

The master's degree in Advanced Instrumentation.


Every year, the school welcomes about 20 invited professors from Europe, the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia and North Africa thanks to scientific collaboration.
