Complexity made simple!

Mineral Materials/IMACS is an integrated MSc dedicated to the analysis, study and development of natural minerals and geomaterials to respond to environmental and sustainable development issues.

The Master of Geosciences offers a classical two-year training in French. Additionally, we offer a one-year training in English for graduate students. This one-year course called ‘Geoengineering ’ (~270 h lecture and 5-6 month internship) will be particularly appreciated by foreign students who wish to reinforce their background in different fields of Petroleum Engineering. This year is also open for regular students who started French classes during their first year in the Master "Of Geosciences". This Master benefits from a particularly rich environment in geosciences and energy. The Master is part of the Faculty of Sciences and Technologies for Energy and Environment (STEE). The STEE Faculty has been founded within the framework of the prestigious label I-SITE which granted the project Energy Environment Solutions (E2S). It also benefits from the immediate surroundings of Carnot ISIFOR (Sustainable Engineering of Georesources) and a national pole for Geosciences and Innovation (Avenia). In addition, Pau hosts dozens of Petroleum companies, including Total, Terega, Modis, etc... Pau has therefore one of the highest concentrations of petroleum engineers and scientists in France.

Explore, transform, protect. These are the main missions that await you as a future geologist technician! The Bachelor in Science and Engineering Geosciences and Environment will introduce you to the exciting world of geology, hydrogeology, geotechnics, geophysics, natural risks and georesources.

Specialized Masters in Circular Economy Engineering applied to Sustainable Materials. The objective of the Specialized Master in Engineering of the Circular Economy Applied to Sustainable Materials is to develop the expertise of professionals confronted with emerging problems of recycling of sustainable materials, eco-design, in particular in the regulated context of the law anti-waste for a circular economy. The proposed approach focuses on the sector from the perspective of creating territorial or even national value in the sector of activity, and responding to skills and professions in tension, identified by France Compétences.

Increasingly strong societal demand in the fields of the Environment, sustainable development, and health now call for a synergy of cutting-edge skills involving Chemical and Biological Sciences.

Aquatic ecosystems are both highly diverse and threatened by anthropogenic disturbances such as pollution, global change, eutrophication, harvesting, habitat loss, and fragmentation. These disturbances can have selective effects, or interact with selective factors, in a way that can impact evolutionary processes. As these processes may either promote population resistance/resilience through adaptation or accentuate the threat through maladaptation, understanding evolutionary forces at work in natural and disturbed aquatic environments is paramount to assessing the fate of biodiversity and managing it in a sensible way in the long term.
