The aim of this paper is to present a new international master curriculum in the field of information technologies (IT) focused on industrial processes automation (IPA), proposed by University Joseph Fourier (UJF) / University of Grenoble, France. The education objectives are set according to the latest concepts developed in IT for process automation, with clear specifications towards engineering and industry. The local and international frameworks are analyzed and the education objectives expressed according to the guidelines provided by dedicated European projects. Feedback from the first year operation of the program provides some insights for the students' enrolment, projects definition and possible ways of curriculum improvement. The proposed program architecture, contents and pedagogic approach can then serve as a motivation for new developments in IT Master programs and related curriculum design.
