Master Risks and Environment - Sustainable Vehicles and Energy Systems (VSED) specialization

Teaching units are assessed by continuous assessment and/or written and oral final exams. They are definitively acquired once the student has obtained an average grade, and are assigned a coefficient and European credits. Compensations are made over the semester on the basis of the overall average of grades obtained in the various teaching units, weighted by coefficients. Two assessment sessions are organized for each semester.

The "Risks and Environment" master's program is based on close interaction with research conducted by :  Du Grand Campus Orléanais laboratories (CNRS & Université d'Orléans: ICARE, LPC2E, ISTO, PRISME, BRGM, INRA-UR sols) whose research themes are recognized for excellence, with the regional Eco-technologies competitiveness cluster DREAM Eaux et milieux  The Labex VOLTAIRE (study of volatile geo-fluids, from the deep Earth to the upper atmosphere) and CAPRYSSES (high-temperature chemistry -energy cluster)  The recent PIVOTS project (Centre Val de Loire Region: ARD2020, CPER, FEDER) by the University of Orléans. The proximity of the DREAM Eaux & Milieux competitiveness cluster, the Loire-Bretagne Water Agency, the DREAL, and associated companies (BRGM and subsidiaries; ANTEA Group, Iddea) ensures effective links with the socio-economic fabric. The strong involvement of industrial partners on the Orleans campus is reflected not only in the active participation of staff from several private partners in teaching, but also in the supervision of student internships or projects, some of which will be hosted on their premises or sites.
The VSED course is mainly supported by :  PRISME (Institut Pluridisciplinaire de Recherche en Ingénierie des Systèmes, Mécanique, Energétique - UPRES 4229)  ICARE - CNRS (Institut de Combustion, Aérothermique, Réactivité et Environnement - UPR 3021).

For adults returning to school; consult SEFCO.

Graduates will go on to occupy positions in innovation, research and development in sectors linked to energy (use, control, production...), the environment (pollution control, treatment, prevention, risk analysis...), or transport (automotive, aeronautics, new fuels). The RE Master's degree leads either directly to a job at executive or senior executive level, or to a doctorate in fundamental or applied research, in the private or public sector (see details for each course). A strong emphasis is placed on professionalization, through specific modules led by experts in the fields of energy, the environment or transport, project modules on instrumented sites (pilot laboratories, observation sites), and long-term internships in a professional environment (4 to 5 months in M1, 5 to 6 months in M2) in France or abroad.
