Investing in the fields of science and digital technology means joining professions with a bright future. Demographic shifts, an aging population, general advances in medicine, the pursuit of safety, the complexity of processes, the development of new molecules, and technological advances in medicine are all driving up healthcare demands. Whether in terms of therapeutic research, the organization of the healthcare system, or individual needs, expectations are high and demands are specific.
Overview of the Master's Program
Back-to-school meeting: August 25, 2025
1 MASTER'S PROGRAM – 3 TRACKS
The SNS Master's program consists of the following tracks:
Healthcare Device Engineering – IDS
This program is designed to provide students with theoretical and practical expertise in medical robotics, signal processing, and sensors along with their associated measurement systems. The skills acquired are applicable in various fields of healthcare.
Program Director:

Engineering Support
This program is designed to give master’s students the opportunity to pursue an engineering degree at a school within the Institut Mines-Télécom network.
A Dual-Degree Program: Master’s and Engineering Degree
Building on the complementary nature of engineering programs and the specializations offered in the various master’s tracks, this program is available as a dual degree combining a master’s and an engineering degree. Selected students follow tailored tracks, upon completion of which students from the Institut Mines-Télécom and its partner institutions have the opportunity to earn the Master’s in Digital Health Sciences from the University of Montpellier in addition to their engineering degree, while Master’s students have the opportunity to earn an engineering degree from one of the Institut Mines-Télécom schools in addition to their Master’s degree.
The Montpellier ICT & Health training program is designed for students from a variety of backgrounds, including computer science, electronics, and automation, as well as physics, biology, medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy. Since 2010, more than 200 professionals have been trained, nearly 20% of whom through continuing or lifelong education. Career opportunities are primarily found in technology companies, IT consulting and service firms, and within the healthcare sector: hospitals, healthcare providers, insurance companies, and preventive care organizations.
Director:Prof. Gérard Dray
ESNbyUM, the University of Montpellier’s School of Digital Health, aims, among other things, to train scientists in the challenges of digital health. Additional courses are therefore offered to master’s students in the Faculty of Sciences to enhance their health-related skills and raise their awareness of the societal changes brought about by the rapid digital transformation in the healthcare sector.
