At admission time, the student makes  a choice of a campus (Brest or Nantes) on which to do his 1st year studies,(known as the common core).His campus assignment is only for this first year. In 2nd and 3rd years, the student will opt for the campus associated with the specialisations that he has chosen with each specialisation offered on a single campus,i.e., Brest, Nantes or Rennes.

 The specializations are a part of the new IMT Atlantique curriculum. Around twenty specializations offer students the opportunity to enrich their career by strengthening their skills in five different specific domains. Each belongs to one or two categories that refer to a major engineering sector :

• Computers and networks
• Automatics, electronics, robotics, embedded systems, telecommunications
• Energy, nuclear energy, the environment
• Industrial systems, organizations
• Health

The student has the possibility to choose two specializations: one in 2nd  and one in 3rd year.

Except for specific courses (the double degree, for example), students follow two TAF specializations during their studies, one in 2nd year and one in 3rd year. For those who wish to develop expertise, some (only accessible in 3rd year) constitute "expert" reinforcement of the 2nd year TAF.

Throughout the first year (and the following years also), a set of activities allows the student to build his professional project and thus to define his training project.

According to his professional project, the student chooses his topics  within the various fields proposed or, if he wishes it, reinforces an expertise in a precise fields.

A team of guidance , composed of members of several entities of the university, will help each students individually to define their professional project and will accompany them in its realisation
