The Masters in Environmental Sciences and Management is offered as a priority to students who have completed a Masters level course of study at one of the faculties in the science and technology sector, human sciences sector or health sciences sector, or at a college of further education. The admission requirements are those of an advanced Masters.
Teaching on environmental sciences and management offers both graduate students and professionals the opportunity to learn about the basic principles of environmental sciences and the management of environmental problems that are complex by nature and involve several disciplines.

The student programme is partially tailored to suit their initial training. Part of the programme is aimed at allowing them to acquire basic knowledge in the various disciplines involved in environmental issues, in science and technology (chemistry, biology, ecology, IT, mathematics, statistics, geography...) and in human sciences (sociology, law, economics, philosophy...). Part of the programme is intended to address environmental issues through various disciplines (economics, law, politics, toxicology, science and technology). Finally, part of the programme is designed to develop the ability to approach environmental issues across disciplines, integrating their respective contributions (multidisciplinary approach) and to identify and negotiate consensual solutions with the different stakeholders.

Upon completion of the programme, the Master of Environmental Sciences and Management will be able to take a mediating role, alone or within a team, to resolve environmental issues: to gain an understanding of the problem and to analyse it as a whole, to summarise the positions of the various stakeholders, including experts, to communicate these comprehensibly to all parties, to develop and propose consensual solutions, to argue and negotiate with stakeholders.
