M1 candidates are admitted to one of the M2 courses, but not necessarily to their first choice, in particular if the maximum number thresholds for the “Prospective Modeling: Economics, Environment, Energy” course are reached.
Admitted candidates from a scientific or engineering background are offered reinforcement in economics while other candidates are offered reinforcement in statistics and mathematics according to their needs.
An admission interview to assess motivation for issues of ecological, energy, climate and environmental transition could be offered to candidates pre-selected on file.
The “Prospective Modeling: Economics, Environment, Energy” course has a more pronounced “research/studies” orientation than the other courses in the specialization. It is particularly aimed at career prospects in thesis and in the “studies and research” departments of large companies, the civil service and international organizations. It is also intended for service and consulting professions – and targets career prospects in the studies and research departments of large companies and decision-making centers (civil service, international organizations) as well as academic research (major integrated international research programs on climate, land use, energy transition, etc.). It focuses on quantitative methods for prospective approaches on energy/climate/environment aspects.
In terms of employment, graduates occupy the following positions:
Students have joined the Corps of Engineers of Bridges, Water and Forests, and that of the Corps of Meteorology.
If the course is open to work-study programs, it is only for a (very) small number of students (1 or 2 students) wishing to integrate into the “research” and studies departments of large companies or into research institute laboratories in order to integrate into these structures from the M2. The orientation of the course is very clearly oriented towards research, whether public or private.
