Master Risques Et Environnement — Sciences et génie de l'environnement

Tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

Offered by Université Paris Cité in Paris, the Sciences et génie de l'environnement track of the Master Risques et Environnement covers the broader discipline of environmental science and engineering, which studies how natural systems function and how technical solutions can be designed to protect them. This field draws on chemistry, biology, earth science, and engineering to examine processes such as water cycles, soil and air quality, ecosystem functioning, and the impact of human activity on natural resources. Students typically study environmental chemistry, ecology, hydrology, pollution control, environmental modeling, and the assessment of natural and industrial risks, often combining laboratory work with fieldwork and quantitative analysis. Because the track spans both scientific and engineering perspectives, graduates are prepared to work across a range of settings, from research and monitoring to the design of technical solutions for pollution control and resource management. Common career paths include roles in environmental consultancy, public environmental agencies, water and waste management organizations, research laboratories, and industry positions focused on environmental compliance and sustainability. Some graduates continue into doctoral research, while others move directly into technical or advisory roles supporting environmental protection and risk management. This is a two-year master's degree taught entirely in French, reflecting its place within the French higher education system. The program is set to begin in September, with tuition of 250 EUR per year, matching standard public tuition levels for master's programs in France. Candidates considering this track typically come from scientific or engineering backgrounds and share an interest in understanding environmental systems well enough to both assess risk and propose practical solutions to reduce it.
