The Master's degree is open to students who have validated 240 ECTS in training courses in urban planning, architecture, geography, landscape, political science, environmental science, sociology, law, etc. Admission is made after examination of the application file, a written test and an interview. The knowledge and skills expected at the beginning of the course cover the fundamentals of urban planning (disciplinary approaches, methodologies, understanding of the challenges of urban space organisation); level C1 of French for foreign students.

Benefits of the program

Co-accredited training between two universities (Université Gustave Eiffel and Université Paris-Est créteil - UPEC), within which students are placed in a working situation by means of a planning studio to be conducted during the whole training period. The teaching team, made up of lecturer-researchers from the EUP's research laboratories (Lab'urba and LATTS), is specialised in environmental issues and urban services; it is reinforced by professionals in the fields of environment and environmental urban planning, thus providing students with a vast professional network. A study trip abroad is carried out at the end of the training period.

Acquired skills

Ability to carry out urban planning activities that integrate sustainability, ecological, climatic and energy issues, and to contribute to the structuring of debates on these issues. It is also about being able to assume a strong interdependence between the planning, design and management of these issues.

Study organization

Le parcours de M2 articule enseignements théoriques et pratiques en tronc commun (S3 - troisième semestre du Master, i.e. premier semestre de Master 2) et enseignements spécifiques (approfondissements thématiques) à choisir en fonction du projet professionnel de l'étudiant.e (S4 - quatrième semestre du Master, i.e. second semestre de Master 2). L'apprentissage comporte un travail en atelier (100 heures en S3 et S4) qui mobilise collectivement les étudiant.es sur un projet en réponse à une commande réelle. Une remise à niveau sur les outils scientifiques et techniques est prévue au démarrage de la formation. Le stage, de quatre mois minimum, commence début avril. La formation donne lieu à la soutenance d'un mémoire de fin d'études en fin de parcours.
