The principle elements of this orientation are :
Having followed this Master’s programme, students should :
The curriculum followed to complete the Master of Science (MSc) in Environmental Science is based upon a first year of compulsory courses (two modules common to all orientations ; one module related to the chosen orientation) ; and a second year containing two modules (one involving freechoice courses, and the other related to the Master’s thesis).
The orientation « Natural Hazards and Risk » is intended for students in Environmental Science who wish to specialise in the analysis of natural hazards. The specialisation is open primarily to those with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Environmental Science or Geology. Other candidates with a Bachelor’s degree, such as in other quantitative programmes in the geosciences or engineering, may be eligible after consideration of their application.
