IQS Master in Industrial Engineering / Icam’s Master in General Engineering
IQS Master in Industrial Engineering / Icam’s Master in General Engineering
Program at a glance
Students following the dual degree program between Icam and Instituto Químico de Sarrià (IQS) will have the generalist engineering foundations while having thorough knowledge in Industrial Engineering.
Icam’s 2-year Master’s in General Engineering will ensure a holistic formation: you will acquire management and humanities exposure, while expanding your training to the multidisciplinary engineering domains. These skills will then be applied when you carry out research work for your Master’s Thesis, followed by hands-on experience as an intern with one of our French partner companies (although you can choose to do your internship in France, Spain or any other country).
Why choose this program?
The General Engineering Master’s degree creates engineers ideal for either becoming self-proclaimed entrepreneurs or valuable leaders or players within a company.
Candidates with a dual degree in general engineering have increased operational skills. The generalist engineering training develops open-mindedness, adaptability, and critical thinking. These profiles are able to piece together different elements of a puzzle while having a bird’s eye-view of real-life situations. Used to complexity and different industries, generalist engineers can easily work in different industries and are able to reorient themselves and their careers to various environments.
This program further builds upon Icam and IQS’ shared culture and vision:
- IQS and Icam share common values and desire to holistically train engineers who are in the service of the common good;
- The proposed curriculum offers the IQS student a year of discernment regarding the pursuit of the dual degree (the first year of Erasmus exchange allows to validate the Grado)
- The engineering internship at Icam serves as your springboard to an international career.
Program highlights

Location
The first year can be carried out among the 4 Icam campuses (Lille, Paris-Sénart, Toulouse, Nantes), with the possibility to change from one campus to another depending on the concentration area you prefer to take for your second semester.
You can then continue your studies on the 2nd year in on of the 6 Icam campuses (Bretagne, Lille, Paris-Sénart, Toulouse, Nantes, Vendée).
Language
You can start your Dual Degree program with a semester in English (in Icam Toulouse), or in French. You can continue your studies in French and move to another campus based on the concentration areas or research topic that you choose to work on, after the first semester.
