A program consisting of second-year courses from the ENPC engineering curriculum, which prepares students for the M2 degree;
Asset n°2
Teaching that combines theory and practice;
Asset n°3
Excellent career prospects, with access to Urba-Ponts and the network of urban planners who are graduates of the École nationale des ponts et chaussées.
The first year of the master's program aims to provide students with a common foundation of knowledge and skills specific to the field of urban planning and renewal, as well as related tools and knowledge (mobility, energy, environment) to prepare them for the second year.
The courses are divided into three main training blocks:
- Disciplinary and operational knowledge of urban issues;
- Tools and methods for analysis and project management;
- Related knowledge (energy, low-carbon mobility, biodiversity, water, economics, social sciences and humanities, etc.)
The master's degree generally leads to immediate employment, but it is also possible to pursue doctoral studies.
Career opportunities exist in organizations such as:
- Local authorities, public development companies and institutions;
- Urban planning agencies, public and private agencies and consulting firms providing project management assistance (development, urban planning, landscaping, transportation, environment, etc.);
- Public and private companies involved in urban and regional projects with complex interfaces (transport operators, land structures, developers, landlords, promoters, etc.).
