Energy

The course covers, in a general and cross-disciplinary manner, the field of energy (physics of the many sources, production, conversion, storage, management) and its complex interrelationship with transport in the broadest sense. After all, energy produced must be transported and used. The transport of goods and people itself requires energy and therefore also requires improvements in propulsion methods (electric, hybrid, combustion), energy conversion and storage, and structures (lightness, strength, assembly processes).
The themes addressed within the Master’s in energy (innovative materials, new energy technologies, networks, sustainable mobility) are widely covered in the research activities of partner institutions and R&D centres in the region. This course is based on an exceptional network in the field of energy which is at the standard of the Plateau de Saclay: Two Energy Transition Institutes (IPVF on photovoltaics, VEDECOM on carbon-free mobility) and numerous academic (CNRS, CEA, etc.) and industrial (Renault, PSA, Thales, Safran, EDF, etc.) research laboratories.

• Master - 2nd year: Transfert et conversion de l'énergie (in French)

Civil Engineering

This course combines specialist fields, which are mainly research-oriented, related to civil engineering (construction, geotechnics, transportation, hydraulics, environment) and subsurface engineering.
For aspects related to constructions in their environment, expertise and continuity of knowledge from the material to the structure are expected. In addition, understanding the construction process, comfort conditions and the durability of buildings are important elements in the training.
As far as subsoil engineering is concerned, in addition to the strong relationship between soil and constructions, the exploration and exploitation of reservoirs and storage facilities (water, gas, oil, CO2, waste, etc.) is one of the major objectives.

• Master - 2nd year: Big Data Management and Analytics (in English)

Environmental, Energy and Transport Economics (Graduate School Biosphera)

Global challenges, whether they relate to energy, food or the environment, require the use of knowledge from many different sources and integrated approaches. Graduates are required: to have a command of economic theory and its application to decision making; to be able to hit the ground running as soon as the degree is awarded by knowing how to set up data processing, statistical and econometric methods and the necessary IT resources; to understand political, economic and scientific challenges and be familiar with recent research developments; to have managerial knowledge (cost-benefit analysis, decision making under uncertainty, management of disputes) as well as ‘soft skills’ (knowledge of sectors, ability to debate on political issues, negotiation).

The primary aim of the degree is to provide training which deals with the whole range of issues concerning energy, the environment and food in terms of economic factors and in an analytical and future-orientated manner. Graduates must have the skills to design strategies to address energy, environmental and agri-food challenges, particularly in relation to climate change, overexploitation of natural resources, water and air pollution, land use (food/bioenergy) and the transition to a low-carbon world. They must be able to incorporate these strategies into the fields of production, services and consulting. They must also have the scientific knowledge to enable the most motivated to participate in both private and public research.
