Entry requirements

This Master’s degree is open to students who have completed an M1 or equivalent.

Benefits of the program

The Master’s in Urban Engineering is particularly connected to the professional and scientific world, both through the composition of the teaching team and the course’s pedagogical practices (workshops, work or laboratory placements, etc.).

Acquired skills

The M2 in Sustainable Urban Development programme aims to train professionals capable of addressing urban and environmental challenges for the cities of the future (the compact city, sparsely populated urban contexts, interfaces and outskirts, etc.) at different levels (district, city, territory). Without seeking to be exhaustive, the Sustainable Urban Development programme focuses on the spatial, technical and societal challenges around the design and management of urban systems (housing, infrastructure, tangible and non-tangible technical networks).

The course is positioned at the intersection between technology and social issues, aiming to be a window onto the contemporary transformations of development and urban engineering, for energy-saving, resilient and innovative cities in conversation with the surrounding territory.

International

Possibility of studying one or two semesters overseas (Crepuq and Erasmus programmes, or outside the programme). Possibility of carrying out a work placement abroad. Pedagogical activities (overseas trips, workshops) can be organised with international partners.
