Presentation
The course is offered in partnership withIFRIA Aquitaine. It is open to both initial and continuing training. It is accredited by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieurs.
Agri-food and Industrial Engineering engineers develop processes to design and optimize the production of a food product in line with a sustainable development and social responsibility (SD&SR) approach, in phase with the needs of companies. They also integrate and manage the financial, legal and commercial aspects of their engineering profession.

Objectives
A food and industrial engineering graduate is destined to become a production manager in the food industry: he or she is a field engineer. They organize production in compliance with quality, cost and deadline criteria. With a thorough understanding of the specificities of the food industry, he or she plays a strong managerial role: recruiting, leading teams, etc. He/she interfaces with the various departments (research and development, sales, logistics).
Know-how and skills
- Managing production in the food industry
- Manage an industrial project from design to manufacture of a food product
- Implement a QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, Environment) management system in a food processing company, in line with sustainable development.
- Build and implement a people management system in line with the company's context and strategy, and in line with a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach.
International dimension
The compulsory professional stay abroad is an exciting experience, essential for an engineer's career and graduation. It can be carried out over a minimum period of 12 weeks, which can be split up.
As part of their curriculum, food and industrial engineering students take part in a 4-week international workshop in English on the development of food products and processes, in partnership with the Food Technology program at the University of the Basque Country in Spain.
Training benefits
- Teaching in the field
- Completion of a technical and managerial project with a company in 3rd year
- A multi-disciplinary teaching team with diverse backgrounds
- The 12-week mobility requirement in a foreign company
- Innovative teaching methods (serious game)
- Participation in an international project to develop innovative food products
- Courses involving a large number of industrial participants
