Areas of application
The course is organised into two tracks:
- International Master in Geosciences (IMG), aims to provide students with cross-disciplinary knowledge and a cutting-edge scientific approach in the geosciences, focusing on major issues such as Global Change and natural hazards. The aim is to train specialists in the processes affecting terrestrial or planetary surfaces and climate changeable to use innovative methods and technologies, in particular by geomatics and geochemistryresponding to environmental issues current and future.
- Geology of Resources and Territories (GRT), aims to train naturalist geologists using observation, measurement and numerical modelling to predict the functioning and properties of geological objects as part of the natural resources management (Water, Geotechnics, Materials, Risks, Energy, Hydrocarbons, Geothermal, CO2-Waste-Energy Storage) and the sustainable developmentfrom the regional to the global scale.
Pedagogy
The work of land is fundamental to the teaching of the Master's degree in STPE, with different courses offered to students during their studies. Particular emphasis is also placed on digital techniques for data analysis in the geosciences: Geographic Information Systems, modelling, geostatistics.
The IMG course is taught in English from the second semester of M1.
The active pedagogies are at the heart of the programme, with a Project-Based Learning (PBL) module every semester. Finally, each year includes a work placement (in a company or academic laboratory), including a full semester in M2.
The Master STPE is largely based on the research potential of the CEREGE and in particular its analytical platforms, unique in France, to train students in the use of cutting-edge geoscience techniques.
Target audience
Students from the Earth Sciences, Life and Earth Sciences, Geography, Chemistry or Physics degree courses

Master COAST
Course: COAST (Coastal management and vulnerabilities) master's degree
To join the COAST pathway, it is essential to show a marked enthusiasm for acquiring specialist skills in coastal geomorphology, which are particularly relevant today in the context of coastal management. This approach requires an open mind, ready to embrace the multidisciplinary approach that is essential if we are to meet the complex challenges of coastal environments.
In M1, students learn the basics of scientific production and explore the key facets of geomorphology and coastal geography. They deepen their understanding by writing a dissertation on a topic of their choice (shoreline recession, coastal engineering, beach morphodynamics, conservation of marine protected areas, climate change adaptation policies, tourism and landscape pressures, etc.). In M2, lectures focus on advanced topics such as coastal resilience, nature-based solutions and integrated coastal zone management. Students apply this knowledge by working on studies as part of a team in a consultancy context, before putting their skills into practice during an internship in an academic environment, a company, a local authority or an association.
Pedagogy
Lectures provide a structured framework for acquiring fundamental knowledge, while project-based learning engages students in practical applications, reinforcing understanding and technical skills. Active teaching methods encourage student participation, interactive discussions and collaborative problem-solving, creating a dynamic and stimulating learning environment in a class of around 12 students.
Cross-disciplinary skills
COAST stands out for its commitment to developing cross-disciplinary skills that are important for a successful education. With an emphasis on professional networking (trade shows and conferences), students will have the opportunity to make meaningful connections with key players in their field. Teamwork, at the heart of our teaching approach, enables students to acquire essential collaborative skills. The use of English strengthens students' international outlook, and participation in international summer schools is facilitated.
Target audience
- Students from general bachelor's degrees: Geography and Town and Country Planning, Life and Earth Sciences, Law, MIASHS; professional bachelor's degrees and Master's degrees in the environment, cartography and town planning. Some students who already have a Master's degree may enter M2.
Purpose and opportunities
- Our aim is to train specialists in coastal management using a multidisciplinary approach. Students will need to master concepts related to coastal geomorphology and the social sciences in order to meet the challenges of adapting to climate change and anthropogenic activities in the coastal zone.
- Graduates can take up management positions in companies specialising in the coastal environment, local authorities and other organisations involved in environmental policies. A doctorate is also an option for COAST students.
