Master of Science (Environmental Engineering and Sustainability Management Master)

at Institut Polytechnique de Paris

Program Structure
 

The Environmental Engineering and Sustainability Management (EESM) Master's Program aims to produce engineers and project managers who are able to tackle a wide variety of environmental challenges, such as industrial discharge control, chemical and biological approaches to pollution diagnosis, water-related engineering and soil treatment, and waste valorization. The Program also covers new concepts such as life cycle assessment, eco-design, omics sciences, numerical simulation and modeling.

While most master's courses devoted to environmental issues only provide students with technical skills, EESM also prepares you for managing positions. All the professors in the Program work to help students become both technically skilled and job ready by the end of the two years. Throughout the Master's Program, students have the opportunity to go on a number of field trips and company visits. They also get to put their skills into practice during two internships:

• The first internship takes place at the end of Year 1 and lasts four months. During this period, students must work on a scientific project.

• The second internship takes place at the end of the Program and lasts five to six months. Students have the choice between completing either a scientific or managerial project.

Academic Eligibility:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, or Biology. Applicants with other degrees may be considered, provided that they have a strong background in the mentioned subjects.

Indian Students Eligibility:

More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay ‚¬13,000 annually, to study in Institut Polytechnique de Paris.
