University of Tours – Polytech Tours, Department of Electronics and Energy (Engineering degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering)
Tours, FrancePOTENTIAL – not yet offered / not confirmed
🟡 Partial: 3 courses labelled English-only (Embedded Systems, Programmable Digital Circuits, Electronic design) plus ~17 labelled French/English; other items are projects
Students from this partner already study with us. 6 students from University of Tours came to the HMU Department of Electronic Engineering on Erasmus+ (2022/2023 to 2026/2027), so the two programmes already work together in one direction. This page looks at the other direction: what HMU Electronic Engineering students could take there.
English-taught programme: Polytech Tours electronics and energy track, listed in the official CCES exchange catalogue (L3 and M1/M2 level, 3-4 ECTS modules per semester, plus 10-30 ECTS supervised projects labelled English). Most modules are marked 'French/English', which in practice likely means French lectures with English support, so confirm with the department before the learning agreement. Incoming exchange contact: dominique.certon@univ-tours.fr.
Potential matches only. No HMU Electronic Engineering student has studied at this partner yet, so there are no recognised courses. The matches below are an indicative assessment by the IRO, based on the partner’s published English programme vs the HMU Electronic Engineering study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
