Project Management For Food Factories of the Future (PM3F)
The international master of science dedicated to ENGINEERS for whom innovative food factory makes environment sense
About us
PM3F is a 2 years integrated specific curriculum of a Master of Science in Process and Bioprocess Engineering accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. This MSc involves 2 other curriculums, PM3E and MBE and is jointly developed by Oniris1, IMT Atlantique2 and Polytech Nantes3 on the strength of their common Research Unit GEPEA4.
All three of them are accredited by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI), the French institution which awards engineering degrees.
2Institut Mines Telecom Atlantique is an Elite Graduate School specialized in digital technology, energy and environment, under the aegis of Ministry of Industry and digital sector
3Polytech Nantes is the Graduate Engineering School of University of Nantes, under the aegis of Ministry of Research and Higher Education
4GEPEA (UMR CNRS 6144) is a Excellence Joined Research Unit of the CNRS, classified amongst the top 10% of Research units in France by the HCERES commission
