Master 2

For the five courses of the Master 2 Environment, Energy & Transport (EEET specialization), the first semester is devoted to teaching and the second semester (April-September) to the internship which is accompanied by a master’s thesis.

The M2 EEET courses are made up of several categories of courses:

• Harmonization courses
• Fundamental courses
• Methods courses
• Thematic courses
• Research training courses
• Opening courses
• Modern Languages

In total, students must validate 60 ECTS credits (36 ECTS for courses and 24 ECTS for the master’s thesis and its defense).

Many extra-curricular activities are planned, and are validated by ECTS credits.

Some courses are common to the five M2 courses, and it is sometimes possible to validate optional courses taken in other courses.

A minimum of four months’ internship, but generally six months’, is mandatory to validate the M2 EEET. It takes place in the second semester (March-April to August-September). It can take place in companies, consulting firms, public institutions, research laboratories, start-ups, etc.

It gives rise to the writing of a master’s thesis, which is the subject of a defense. As an example, you will find the topics of the 2021-2022 dissertations here.

Internships abroad are possible and encouraged.

The skills acquired at the end of the training include the ability to:

• Conduct studies in sustainable development (environmental, social and economic aspects)
• Conduct studies on corporate social responsibility (CSR)
• Design quantitative studies on environmental issues
• Manage and coordinate the progress of one or more studies in the environmental field
• Analyze massive data, develop explanatory or predictive models and decision-making tools
• Define the sustainable development policy, implement it and ensure the associated reporting
• Study the environmental feasibility and desirability of projects and develop technical proposals
• Define the methods, means of studies and design and their implementation
• Drive environmental projects at local, departmental, regional, national, European level, and manage their implementation
• Decline the decisions of the government, elected officials, etc. according to the environmental, social and economic context and local issues. Prioritize the projects to be implemented and determine their scope.
• Model and quantify an economic phenomenon (econometrics, operational research, simulation methods)

The courses “Energy economics”, “Economics of sustainable development and the environment”, “Economics of sustainable food” and “Prospective Modeling”

This concerns approximately 20 to 30 students each year.

Apprentices have arranged course periods and benefit from intensive monitoring by a teacher-tutor and an apprenticeship supervisor. They must also complete a master’s thesis. They have employee status during their studies.

The teaching team is part of an international research network. Students of the Master 2 Environment, Energy & Transport actively participate in international programs in which several master’s theses are written each year (Horizon Europe, the European research framework program, in particular).

More generally, many students complete their M2 internship abroad, whether as part of internships in companies, on trade missions, in research laboratories, or international organizations (World Bank, International Food Policy Research Institute, International Institute for Applied Sciences Analysis, PIK, Food and Agriculture Organization, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, United Nations Environment Program, etc.).

Every year, a few selected students continue their studies as part of a Ph.D (American doctoral program) in one of the foreign universities with which the EEET Master maintains a partnership.

Jointly supervised theses are also carried out in partnership between the doctoral schools linked to the EEET Master and European universities with which the research laboratories associated with the Master collaborate closely.
