Specialized engineer in civil engineering and railway systems
Get your career off to a good start with IMT Nord Europe’s bac + 5 diploma in civil engineering and railway systems, accredited by the CTI and available through continuing education or apprenticeships. A mode of transport that is innovating to meet ecological, societal and digital challenges.
Numerous opportunities
Once you’ve completed your 3 years of training, you’ll be offered a job in the rail and guided rail infrastructure sectors. This may involve track construction proper, but also maintenance, signalling, power supply, safety, surveillance, telecommunications… The horizon is vast if we also take into account service companies such as certification bodies or design offices.
Practical training
The apprenticeship alternates between IMT Nord Europe and the host company. On the one hand, you will be supervised by a tutor, a teacher from the school, who ensures a permanent, formalized relationship with the apprentice and the apprenticeship master. The latter, an experienced company executive, will organize and monitor your work. The content of the assignments and the skills assessment agreed between you and the company are validated by IMT Nord Europe.
Academic training
The Civil Engineering and Railway Systems curriculum provides you with all the fundamentals in the scientific, technological and human fields. At the same time, immersion in the company enables you to put all this knowledge into practice, as well as taking on responsibilities and working as part of a team. This dual pedagogical approach is particularly effective, as it gets you up and running quickly. It also requires a high level of personal commitment, cultivating a sense of initiative, autonomy and independence.
The courses
The courses cover the full range of knowledge and skills needed to become an engineer in civil engineering and railway systems:
- Management: project management, communication, rail safety – risk management, innovation and creativity, English…
- Science and technology: mathematics, mechanics, materials science, geology and hydrology…
- Technology: CAD/CAM/CFAO drawing, civil engineering and track work, signalling, catenary…
