Master Sciences De L'Eau

The Master Sciences De L'Eau at Université Lumière - Lyon 2, based in Mâcon, is a two-year program taught in French in the field of water sciences. Water sciences cover the study of water resources, including their availability, quality, management, and the environmental and human systems that depend on them, drawing on hydrology, environmental science, chemistry, and policy. Typical coursework includes subjects such as hydrology and water resource management, water quality analysis, environmental regulation related to water, and the social and economic dimensions of water use and distribution. Students generally study both the scientific processes governing water systems and the practical and policy tools used to manage water resources sustainably. Graduates of water sciences programs commonly move into roles such as water resource manager, environmental consultant, water quality analyst, or positions within public agencies and utilities responsible for water supply and treatment. Given ongoing concerns about water availability and quality, graduates in this field find opportunities across public administration, environmental consulting, and industries that rely heavily on water resources. The program begins in September and lasts two years, with instruction conducted entirely in French, so applicants need solid French language skills alongside an undergraduate background in environmental science, geography, or a related field. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Based in Mâcon, in the Burgundy region of France, the program offers a setting distinct from the larger Lyon campus, focused specifically on water-related study.
