Program

The M1 program welcomes 8 scientific students who then join 8 SHS students and 8 others from the economic sciences in M2.

The M1 courses are either common to other courses of the Water master's degree, or common to the Coastal Engineering course of the STPE master's degree (Earth Sciences).

In M2, the teaching is specific and divided between teachers from the Faculty of Science, MOMA (Montpellier Management) and Paul Valery University (SHS). In addition, there are many external professional contributors.
