Asset n°3

Gain experience through an internship

The first-year Sciences and Technologies for Energy Master’s program encompasses mandatory and elective scientific courses, French language learning, various projects and an internship. This first year allows students to acquire advanced scientific and technological knowledge. The elective courses cover an array of topics including physics, engineering, applied mathematics and network management. Through their choice of specialized courses, students will be able to customize their learning to pursue one of the following second-year majors: Clean Energy Production, Energy Infrastructure Management or Optimizing Energy Utilizations.

Objectives

This first-year program will allow students to:

  • Acquire a high-level understanding of the science underlying the energy sector including physics, mechanics, chemistry, thermodynamics, chemical engineering, applied mathematics, and communication sciences
  • Grasp the working principles of different techniques for energy production, storage and distribution
  • Understand wider environmental and climatic issues, as well as the economic and societal impacts of the energy transition

To complete the Master’s degree, first-year students can enter the following second-year programs:

  • Master Year 2 Towards Clean Energy Production
  • Master Year 2 Energy Infrastructures Management
  • Master Year 2 Optimizing Energy Utilizations

After completing the second-year of the Master, students will be able to pursue a PhD or occupy a wide range of positions in the energy sector including:

  • R&D engineer specializing in wind or solar technologies, developing batteries or fuel cells, treating pollutants and waste in the energy industry
  • Smart grid developer
  • Wind farm or solar plant project manager
  • Consultant in sustainable development
  • Power analyst for energy markets
  • Public policy advisor
