Prepare for a future-oriented career at the heart of environmental challenges
The sustainable management of polluted sites and soils is today one of the major challenges of ecological transition, land-use planning, and land redevelopment. Strengthened standards, resource scarcity, land pressure in urban areas, health imperatives: depollution projects now require experts capable of managing complex, regulated, and strategic operations.
The Advance Master in Project Management for Polluted Sites and Soils (MS-SSP) programme specifically trains these sought-after professionals: engineers capable of managing an SSP project from the initial phase to lessons learned, by integrating the technical, regulatory, economic, societal, and environmental dimensions.
It is a high-level program, accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE), based on project-based learning, field immersion, and contributions from a unique network of public and private experts.

The Program Director’s Vision
To train experts capable of meeting today’s environmental and land challenges
The sustainable management of polluted sites and soils is today a major challenge for regions, businesses, and public stakeholders.
Regulatory developments, land pressure, the need to rehabilitate brownfields, and the integration of ecological transition demand new profiles: engineers capable of understanding, managing, and securing an entire depollution project.
The MS-SSP programme was designed in direct response to these needs. Our objective is to provide you with the scientific knowledge, technical tools, and mastery of the regulatory framework necessary to effectively manage complex projects, from initial diagnosis to lessons learned.
Within this program, you will develop a global vision of SSP challenges, while acquiring operational expertise, through an inductive learning approach based on real case studies and the guidance of industry professionals.
You will be ready to act at the heart of environmental, land, and industrial transformations.
