Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) offers significant opportunities for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the training of future specialists at the Master level. As NDT continues to expand to meet industrial and societal demands—particularly in structural safety and energy transition—it plays a key role within the context of Industry 4.0 under the concept of NDE4.0. France has historically been a leader in NDT, supported by high-tech sectors such as nuclear energy and aerospace. Today, the combination of materials science with advanced tools, including AI, is essential for modern NDT practices and positions the discipline firmly within STEM fields. AI, through machine learning and intelligent sensors, enables faster and more accurate defect detection and automated inspections, opening new specialization pathways for master’s students. NDT education is inherently multidisciplinary, closely linked to materials science, structural mechanics and NDT integrity engineering. At Aix-Marseille University and INSA Group, innovative teaching strategies include short targeted training sessions, practical work and professional virtual reality tools. French academic initiatives aim to strengthen interdisciplinary education, expand access to higher education in NDT, and foster innovation through strong research and training networks. An updated syllabus for future NDT education will be presented.
