Master Environmental Engineering

Environmental system which lies at the core of current major challenges, is a “complex system” which overall behavior is controlled by the interactions of all its multiple elements.

Understanding, modeling and handling such systems require specific skills that students will acquire through the exceptional academic and applied training environment of this Master’s program. lt will provide you with a rich interdisciplinary educational experience in environmental engineering and prepare you for a professional career in optimal conditions.

Beyond the wide academic knowledge gathered, you will also enrich yourselves with a broad range of experiences:

• Labs/companies visits, seminars...
• Soft-skills and management courses
• Up to 10 months of work & research placements (projects, clinical/research/ company internships...)
• A multicultural international experience in southern France & Learning the French language.

This Master’s degree aims at training bicultural engineers with strong and broad scientific & technical skills, coupled with solid experience in management, innovation & research.

National Diploma - Master's degree accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education.

Environmental engineering is a branch of engineering that applies the principles of science and engineering to improve the natural environment. It involves the study of the interaction between the environment and various human activities, such as industrial processes, transportation, and construction, among others.
Environmental engineers design and implement solutions to prevent, control, or remediate environmental problems, such as air and water pollution, waste management, and climate change.
The goal of environmental engineering is to protect human health and the environment by promoting sustainable development practices that balance economic, social, and environmental factors.

The aim of environmental engineering is to provide sustainable solutions to environmental problems by applying scientific and engineering principles.
The field has evolved over the years, and its focus has shifted from end-of-pipe solutions, such as pollution control and waste treatment, to more holistic approaches that address the root causes of environmental problems.

The ultimate goal of environmental engineering is to create a sustainable future, where the natural environment is protected, and human activities are in harmony with nature. This includes promoting the use of renewable resources, reducing waste generation, improving energy efficiency, and minimizing the use of harmful chemicals.
Additionally, environmental engineering also aims to promote social equity and justice, by ensuring that environmental risks and benefits are shared equitably among all members of society.

Overall, the aim of environmental engineering is to achieve a balance between economic growth, social development, and environmental protection for the benefit of present and future generations.

Environmental engineers need a strong foundation in scientific competencies to be successful in their field. Here are some of the key scientific competencies that are required:

• Environmental chemistry
• Environmental microbiology
• Hydrology and water resources
• Soil science
• Environmental physics
• Environmental biology
• Data analysis and modeling

Environmental engineering requires a diverse set of skills that combine scientific and technical expertise with critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving abilities.
