The master course
The CIMET Master programme covers a wide range of areas such as color,{{Cite web |url=http://www.colour.org.uk/courses.html |title=www.colour.org.uk Citing CIMET masters |publisher=Colour.org.uk |accessdate=16 March 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003170856/http://www.colour.org.uk/courses.html |archive-date=3 October 2011 |url-status=dead }} photonics, computer vision and imaging science, computer science and multimedia technology. The programme objective is to educate students in advanced methodologies and models in computational color science. CIMET offers three areas of specialization: color imaging science, spectral color science and multimedia technology.
Mobility
Mobility is inherent to the CIMET programme; from northern to southern Europe, students approach varied studying, working and living environments challenging their adaptation, organizational and language skills.
Language policy
English is the official language of instruction and examination for CIMET. However, students are strongly recommended to take some mandatory host country language courses during their studies.
