Program Overview

The Mastère (MSc) and Ph.D. program in Engineering Project Management and Optimization at UNICHRISTIAN is strategically designed for engineers, architects, and high-level professionals working or aiming to work in complex project management, industrial process optimization, or seeking academic career development. It offers the following specialties (conferred in final diploma): Civil, Production, Electrical, Mechanical, Environmental, and Agronomic Engineering.

Structural Differences: Mastère (MSc) vs. Ph.D.

The program of international vocation structured with reference to France is organized in an architecture of progressive complexity in two cycles.

Cycle I — Mastère (MSc)•Focus on technical instrumentation and practical application of knowledge•Duration of 18 to 36 months (1,500 hours)•Professional preparation for teaching and evidence-based management
Cycle II — Ph.D.•Directed toward high investigation and deep epistemology•Duration of 24 to 48 months (2,500 hours)•Writing and public defense of an original thesis of high impact
