Master's degree in environmental and sustainable development law and management

Today, the environment and sustainable development are among the major social demands whose recognition has resulted in an increasingly complex and elaborate institutional and normative framework, at international, European and national level.

Against this backdrop, public authorities and businesses alike are faced with a plethora of regulations to manage their environments, resources and the risks inherent in their activities, prevent and remedy pollution and adopt a sustainable development approach.

 This Master's degree provides students with a professional education combining theoretical and operational approaches, knowledge and know-how.

 The aim is to train students over a two-year period for careers in environmental law, providing them with knowledge, skills and know-how (specific and wide-ranging input from professionals) in a sector that is now extremely buoyant in terms of job opportunities (public and private sectors).

For each major sector of environmental law - biodiversity, water, pollution, nuisance, waste, renewable energies, etc. courses are systematically combined with presentations by professionals: lawyers (environmental and town-planning litigation), environmental managers from local authorities (Occitanie region), legal affairs managers in public institutions (OFB, ONEMA), consultancy firm directors, environmental managers from major groups (EDF EN, URBASOLAR, COLAS Midi méditerranée, etc.), who confront the student with fieldwork and the resolution of practical cases; business games, territorial diagnostics, responding to calls for tender, etc.
