Presentation
The Energy Master's program at the University of Montpellier is a multi-disciplinary program that opened in 2011, with 2 initial training courses and one sandwich course.
7 departments of the Faculty of Science participate in this training, which is articulated around 4 pillars:
- Network management
- Managing sources and resources
- Energy storage
- Energy conversion
Objectives
The aim of the Energy Master's program is to train cross-disciplinary project managers in the energy field, capable of answering the questions posed by local authorities and companies in terms of resource selection and energy mix management. It also aims to train executives capable of managing the various research/development and/or organizational aspects of projects relating to energy resource management, conversion and storage.
Know-how and skills
Graduates will be able to carry out the tasks assigned to a research, development or project management executive in a company, academic laboratory or local authority. The knowledge and skills acquired will enable them to :
- Work as part of a multidisciplinary team covering a broad spectrum of basic and applied sciences
- Working in a disciplinary team on energy management, storage or conversion
- Implement experimental approaches
- Analyze process operation, to diagnose problems and propose modifications, for example to improve energy efficiency
- Innovate by proposing research and development avenues leading to the development of new devices linked to energy conversion and storage issues.
They will have acquired the following cross-disciplinary skills enabling them to integrate quickly into the professional world:
- Ability to work in an international context
- Work independently: set priorities, manage time,
- Teamwork: integration, positioning, collaboration
- Communicate: write clearly, prepare appropriate communication media,
- Speak in front of a group and comment on material.

Energy Management, Sources, Storage and Conversion (G2Sco)
The Master's degree in Energy Management, Sources, Storage and Conversion (G2SCO) covers all aspects of energy:
- Energy and social issues, changing needs, managing the energy mix, energy transition.
- Energy efficiency.
- Issues relating to energy sources and resources (fossil, nuclear, non-conventional) and energy production methods (biological, chemical, physical), with particular emphasis on renewable resources (biomass, geothermal, wind, solar, tidal and hydraulic).
- Energy conversion and storage systems and energy carriers.
The course also includes instruction in the issues associated with waste reprocessing (nuclear, CO2 sequestration, etc.), as well as training in project management, innovation and technology transfer.
Gestion des Réseaux et Energies rENouvelables (GREEN) - Apprenticeship
The GREEN course trains students to meet the challenges of profoundly changing the way energy is produced and consumed. The themes studied in the GREEN course will be related to multi-source/multi-load networks:
- Integration of fluctuating local energy production means (solar or wind)
-Development of optimal energy management strategies and monitoring methods.
- Storage problem.
- Self-consumption .
This course is exclusively open to work-study programs.
Multi-Source Energy Management, Self-Consumption and Microgrids (EMSAR)
The themes studied in the EMSAR pathway will relate to multi-source/multi-load networks and the optimization of energy management.
This pathway trains students to meet the challenges posed by profound changes in the way energy is produced and consumed. The themes studied in the EMSAR pathway will relate to multi-source/multi-load networks:
- Integration of fluctuating local energy production means (solar or wind)
-Development of optimal energy management strategies and monitoring methods.
- Storage problem.
- Self-consumption .
