MVE Programme

The Masters programme in “Mobility and Electric Vehicles” begins in September and ends in December of the following year.

September : Induction period
• The Renault Foundation and its environment
• Economic and cultural discovery trip with students funded by other Renault Foundation programmes
• Project management training
September-April : classes (in Paris and Lille)
April - June : Placement in a research lab (in Paris or Lille)
July-December : Professional assignment in a company or organisation.
The placement and professional assignment both culminate in a dissertation and a presentation to relevant industrial and academic partners and the Renault Foundation.
December : Award of degrees
