  2. FPMs – History • Founded in 1837 (Mining School of Mons - oldest engineering school of Belgium) • In 1935 it was given its present name: Faculté Polytechnique de Mons • In 2004, creation of the « Académie Universitaire Wallonie-Bruxelles », (Brussels-Wallonia Alliance for Research and Higher Education) grouping • ULB – University of Brussels • UMH – University of Mons - Hainaut • and FPMs • In 2009, creation of the University of Mons merging UMH and FPMs 7 Faculties: Sciences, Medicine, Applied sciences, Economy and management, Psychology and educational sciences, Languages (translation and interpretation), Architecture

  3. FPMs – Numbers • One of the four Faculties of Applied Sciences of the French-speaking part of the country (Wallonie-Bruxelles) • 1000 students in engineeringsciences • 65 academics, 150 researchers, 80 technicians and administrative staff

  4. Course of Study Engineer = Master of Science in Engineering Course of Study • Entrance examination -Bachelor (BA) : 180 credits • Master (MA) : 120 credits • PhD : 180 credits

  5.

  13. FPMs – Who are we? We are behind the creation of several Research Centres (Multitel, Materia Nova, CETIC, INISMA) and spin-off companies (Acapela, ITOptics, Smartwear, Polymedis, Decizium)

  14. The FPMs educational project • Bachelor foundation training. • Masters in different specialities linked to our excellence research groups • Multidisciplinary skills acquisition through project work as soon as the second year • Choice of elective courses in Master years : • language , management and work experience modules. • English classes in Bachelor years(TOEIC), opportunity to study a 3rd language in Master years • Grants for staying abroad

  15.
