Master in Forests and Natural Areas students must endeavour to diagnose and solve complex and original issues in bioengineering through a multidisciplinary approach in order to develop and implement innovative and sustainable solutions.
This Master’s programme aims to train experts in the field of management, conservation and the responsible and sustainable use of forests and natural spaces in multiple ecological and socio-economic contexts.
The future bioengineers acquire the knowledge and skills required to become:
• professionals able to tackle and diagnose problems related to the management and use of natural resources and forests and to provide operational solutions: sustainable management of ecosystems, management of natural areas and forests, development of forest-wood resources;
• scientists able to understand complex processes on different spatial and temporal scales, used to multidisciplinary approaches and able to collaborate with other specialists;
• innovators tasked with developing new methods of managing natural environments and forests with a view to ensuring the sustainability of goods, resources and services from ecosystems, in the context of climate change and changing social demands.
On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :

Highly versatile and multidisciplinary in character, the course dispensed by the Faculty of Biological, Agricultural and Environmental Engineering focuses on acquiring skills which combine theory and practice to train "bioengineers" mastering a broad base of scientific and technological knowledge and skills allowing them to adopt an integrated approach to biological, agricultural and environmental systems.
On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1. To explore a body of knowledge (knowledge, methods and techniques, models and processes) in natural and human sciences which serves as the foundation from which to operate with expertise in the field of forest sciences.
2. To explore an integrated body of "engineering and management knowledge" which serves as the foundation from which to operate with expertise in the forest science field.
3. To design and execute a research project, implementing an analytical scientific and, if applicable, systematic approach, to further understanding of an original research problem in their field of specialisation, incorporating several disciplines.
4. To formulate and resolve a complex engineering problem in the forest sciences field, related to new situations presenting a degree of uncertainty and by using a systematic approach to develop relevant sustainable and innovative solutions.
5. To design and implement a multidisciplinary project, alone and in a team, with the stakeholders concerned while taking the objectives into account and incorporating the scientific, technical, environmental, economic and human factors.
6. To communicate, interact and convince in a professional manner, in French and English at level C1 (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages published by the Council of Europe), both verbally and in writing, adapting to their conversational partners and the context.
7. To act critically and responsibly by taking account of sustainable development issues and operating with a humanistic outlook.
8. To demonstrate independence and be proactive in acquiring new knowledge and developing new skills in order to adapt to changing or uncertain situations and to grow, to build a professional project within a continuing development approach.
