Master 1

Scheduled over one or two years, your Master 1 is an opportunity for you to choose the path that best suits your needs:

• Commitment Path
• Modular Path

You can also follow the Grande Ecole program in English via the English Track.

The Different Paths

Commitment Path

The first year of Master 1 will therefore consist of a semester of in-depth management or the semester of management of the energy and environmental transition - Gaïa (face-to-face or distance learning at your choice) half-time.

On the 2nd half-time:

• Integration of an associative mission
• Having a student job
• Developing your entrepreneurial activity
• Practicing high level sports
• Etc.

In the second year of the M1 program, students spend one semester studying abroad and one semester in a corporate internship.

Modular Path

During these two years of Master 1, we give students the opportunity to build their own pathway. The idea is that the finalized pathway includes two academic semesters to choose from among 3 (in-depth management, Gaïa or international) and 2 semesters of internship.

Examples of possible paths (not exhaustive):

• Semester 1 (1st year of Master 1): Semester of Energy and Environmental Transition Management - Gaïa
• Semester 2 (1st year of Master 1): Internship
• Semester 3 (2nd year of Master 1): Internship
• Semester 4 (2nd year of Master 1): International Semester
