We are looking for profiles combining scientific rigor, curiosity for fieldwork, and openness to social sciences.
Who is the Master of Science in Engineering GEOSPHERES for?
The Master 2 GEOSPHERES is intended for engineering students and science students who wish to:
- develop expertise in environment and ecological transition,
- understand territorial dynamics,
- work at the interface between science, engineering, and public policy,
- enter professions related to resources, risks, planning, and climate adaptation.
Eligible Profiles
The Master 2 is primarily intended for engineering students and university students who have already acquired a solid foundation of scientific skills at the Master 1 level.
Engineering Students
Students from the École des Mines curriculum (notably ICM and FUSION) or equivalent, seeking dual expertise in environment and territorial studies.
University Students
Holders of a Master 1 (M1) (or equivalent 240 ECTS) in the following fields: Geosciences, Geography, Environmental Sciences, Engineering Sciences (Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Mechanics, etc.).
International Candidates
Candidates with an equivalent degree, eager to acquire recognized French expertise in risk management and planning.
Prerequisites and Key Skills
Success in this Master of Science in Engineering relies on a strong grasp of fundamental concepts and strong motivation for interdisciplinary working methods.
| Field | Expected Skill |
| Scientific Rigor | Solid foundations in applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, and/or Earth sciences (geology, hydrogeology). |
| Openness | Interest in the study of social and territorial dynamics and environmental governance. |
| Methods | Aptitude for modeling and the use of digital spatial analysis tools (GIS practice recommended, but not always required). |
| Motivation | Strong commitment to issues of resource management and climate change. |
Human and Professional Qualities
Fieldwork and the modular curriculum require specific qualities to maximize learning within our network of excellence:
- Adaptability
Ability to navigate between disciplines (Engineering, Geography) and between partner institutions. - Systemic Analytical Thinking
Ability to understand global phenomena and their interdependencies. - Interest in Fieldwork
Strong interest in in situ observation and experimentation. - Autonomy
Ability to design one’s module pathway and manage one’s personal research work (Master’s thesis).
Targeted Skills
Graduates develop skills in:
- environmental analysis & territorial diagnosis
- natural resource management (water, soil, energy)
- understanding of natural and anthropogenic risks
- GIS, remote sensing, environmental modeling
- planning, land use planning, territorial governance
- scientific communication and interdisciplinary work
❗️ Applications are open from January to April.
