Objectives: The STPE Master's program trains professionals capable of understanding the dynamics of natural surface and subsurface systems and managing resources.
Three tracks are identified from the first semester of the first year of the Master's program:
- Georesources, Geomaterials, and Geodynamics (G3)
- Contaminated Sites and Soils - Environmental Assessment (SSP-DE)
- Data Science for Earth and Environmental Sciences (GEODATA)
- The SSP-DE track focuses on the study of surface systems, such as soils, hydrographic networks, and aquifers;
- The G3 track focuses more on the geological history of crustal systems, including magmas, volatiles, and mineralizations within their geodynamic environments;
- The GEODATA track focuses on environmental data.
Degree Level (EU) : 7 - (EQC level or equivalent)
Admission requirements: Primarily intended for graduates with a general Bachelor's degree (L3) in Earth Sciences, applications are more generally open to candidates holding a Bachelor's degree (Bac +3). Candidates are selected based on their career goals, motivation, and academic record.
A solid foundation is expected in some of the following areas:
SSP - DE: Geology, Geomatics, Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, Pedology, Water Chemistry, Geochemistry, Hydrogeology, Mineralogy, Computer Science, Statistics, Cartography, English.
Targeted careers : Upon completion of the Master's program, you will be qualified as an applied engineer with expertise in digital tools: geomatics, 3D-4D modeling, spatial analysis, thermodynamics of solutions, and multiphysics simulation. These tools will be applicable to a wide range of sectors, such as the exploration and sustainable management of mineral resources, geomaterials, geothermal energy, energy storage, sustainable management of water and soil resources, and the remediation and redevelopment of contaminated sites and soils, including former mining sites.
Pursuing doctoral studies will open doors to research careers in the public sector (Universities, CNRS, BRGM) or the private sector (major engineering firms and industrial groups). The Master's program has strong ties to scientific research and is affiliated with the research laboratories of OSUC, most notably ISTO (Orléans Institute of Earth Sciences). Projects funded through the Investments for the Future program, such as Labex Voltaire and Equipex Planex, support this training.
