Master Risques Et Environnement — Gestion territoriale des risques naturels et technologiques - Sciences du risque (GERINAT-SR)

Tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

Risques Et Environnement, specializing in Gestion territoriale des risques naturels et technologiques - Sciences du risque, is a master's programme at Aix-Marseille Université focused on the study and management of natural and technological hazards. This field brings together elements of earth sciences, geography, environmental science and public policy to understand how risks such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, industrial accidents and other hazards arise, how they affect territories and populations, and how public authorities and organizations can prevent, mitigate and manage them. Students typically study risk assessment methods, hazard mapping and geographic information systems, environmental and territorial planning, and the legal and institutional frameworks governing risk prevention and crisis management in France. Coursework often combines fieldwork and case studies of specific hazards with policy-oriented seminars examining how territorial and technological risks are governed at local, regional and national level. Many programmes in this area also include an internship with a public agency, local authority, engineering firm or environmental consultancy, giving students applied experience in risk management practice. Graduates typically work as risk management officers, environmental consultants, territorial planners, or specialists within public agencies and companies responsible for natural or industrial hazard prevention, and some continue into doctoral research in environmental or risk sciences. The programme is based in Marseille Cedex 3, France, and runs over two years, leading to a master's degree with an intake in September. Instruction is delivered in French and yearly tuition is 250 EUR.
