The objective of the Master of Science is to form project leaders or supervisors capable of managing complex engineering projects in the domain of the environment and energy conversion systems within an international context. PBPE/PM3E offers a balanced program of management skills and engineering techniques for environmental and energy projects. The technical part of the course concentrates on technology and process engineering as well as process modelling, simulation and control. A significant part of the program is also devoted to social sciences for project managers.

A 2 years integrated program (starting in September) : 3 academic semesters (lectures in English) and 6-month internship in industry or in a research laboratory.​

The program aims to give

• A strong scientific background and technical knowledge in environmental and energy processes
• A good know-how in process modelling and simulation
• Cross-disciplinary management skills essential to set up and pilot projects in an international context
• A significant grounding of social sciences for engineers

FACULTY : Lecturer from Academia and Industry from all continents

Job opportunities

After completion of the program, PBPE/PM3E graduates find career opportunities in close connection with industry, in fields such as:

• Energy production and exploitation: Oil and gas, power generation and distribution, renewable energies
  
• Eco-industries: Water and air treatment, waste management and recycling, pollution reduction and remediation
• Steel and chemical production
• Building and civil sectors…

The main employers are major industrial groups operating worldwide as well as leading companies in France or abroad. Public or private agencies and inter-governmental organizations working for sustainable industrial development are also potential employers.

PBPE/PM3E graduates have the possibility of doing a PhD and pursuing a career in research and development.
