The specialized Masters in Mining Exploitation and Environment for professional purposes aims to meet the growing demand for executives specialized in mining mainly in French-speaking countries producing raw materials. The ambition is to respond more specifically to the phases of the mining process “Mining Studies, Mining Projects and Extraction“. The proposed program highlights, in a very pragmatic way, the environmental, societal and economic challenges of a farm, from the discovery of a deposit, to the abandonment of the site.

Access conditions : a title of engineer (generalist or specialized) or a technical or scientific Master 2 or a technical or scientific Master 1 coupled with 3 years of professional experience in the field of Extractive Industry

The Environment, Energy & Risks department aims to train engineers capable of ensuring the development and quality of life of future generations while protecting our planet. It is divided into two options, Energy and Environment, and Natural and Industrial Risks.

The «Energy and Environment» option is dedicated to two major issues of society : the control of energy and the preservation of the environment. Students from this course will be able to imagine and propose intelligent, efficient and sustainable solutions to meet the expectations of reducing environmental impact and energy performance. Along with strong technical skills, they will demonstrate real leadership, communication and convincing skills. They can integrate large groups, Smes/Smis, engineering offices, communities as a Research Manager, Business Manager, Site Manager or Environment Manager. They are addressed to become, eventually, managers.

The engineer specializing in major risks relies on solid generalist training. This expert has a very good knowledge of major risks, of the modeling of their consequences, of their impacts on the territory and of the means of prevention and crisis management. He can evolve as well as a manager in the QHSE (Quality, Hygiene, Safety, Environment) direction of an industrial company or in a design and engineering office in risks (technological and natural risks) as in administration or the local collectives.

Access conditions : Preparation course, DUT, License, Master 1, APEL classes

Training to learn to inventory the heritage, natural and cultural capital of a territory in order to define touristic products adapted to the requirements of the territory, the economy and customers. Thus, it allows holders to collaborate in the creation, evaluation, development and promotion of complete touristic packages.

The master offers tools for reflection and analysis on the methods of tourism in mountain areas and remarkable natural areas. Through questions relating to the environment, spatial planning and the tourism space, the master mobilizes innovative research while offering applied dimensions.

Access conditions : The M2 is open to candidates who have validated a 1st year of a national diploma conferring the master’s degree or a 1st year of a second cycle diploma approved by the State if it corresponds to the level of required studies as well as to candidates who benefit from a validation of acquired knowledge.

Under the responsibility of a competent person, you can explore a cavity or a cliff on simple obstacles.

Targeted skills :

Name, position and adjust the individual equipment necessary to progress underground. Progress on varied situation (climbing, de-climbing). Identify a handrail and know how to move safely on it. Move on ropes when climbing and descending : identify a wellhead, put my descender and descend a small vertical, stop on a rope with a descender, cross a deviation on both the descent and the climb, cross a simple splitting on the descent as on the ascent. Manage my emotions related to progression techniques. Respect the environment in which I progress.

Targeted audience :

Agents of structures managing protected natural areas or touristic caves, students, higher education teachers, researchers, technicians from design offices.

Terms of Access :

Be able to justify an experience in progress on ropes in the last two years : level 3rd bat delivered by the FFS or the SNPSC or to have followed level 1. Regular sports practice.
