Master Energie

Master Énergie, offered by Université Lumière - Lyon 2 in Bron, France, is a two-year, French-taught master's program that starts in September and costs EUR 250 per year in tuition. Energy studies examine how power is produced, distributed, stored, and consumed across industrial, residential, and transport sectors, spanning both technical and policy dimensions of the field. Typical coursework covers thermodynamics, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, energy storage technologies, electrical grids, and the economics of energy markets, along with modules on energy efficiency and the regulatory frameworks that govern energy production and trade. Students often analyze the transition away from fossil fuels, examining how governments, utilities, and industries plan for lower-carbon energy systems while managing supply reliability and cost. Depending on emphasis, programs in this field may lean toward engineering content, such as power systems and energy conversion technologies, or toward management and policy content, such as energy project financing, market regulation, and environmental impact assessment. Graduates from energy programs go on to work as energy analysts, project managers in renewable energy firms, consultants to utilities and industrial companies, or specialists within public agencies responsible for energy policy. Some continue into research roles focused on new energy technologies or storage solutions. The field is shaped by ongoing shifts in climate policy and technology, which keeps professionals engaged with evolving standards and market conditions. As courses are conducted in French, students should be ready to follow technical and policy material in that language while based in Bron.
