It is certified by the French Conference des Grandes Ecoles (C.G.E.).
Lectures are given in French.
Objectives : This Advanced Master's degree aims to give already graduated Engineers a technical specialization on renewable energies such as solar or wind energy or hybride systems.
At the end of the program, they will be able to propose technical solutions to industries in this sector.
This programme is delivered in partnership with EUREC (EUropean Renewable Energy Centres) and the Universities of Loughborough, Saragosse, Oldenbourg, Newcastle, Athens and Kassel in Germany, United Kingdom, Spain and Greece.
Content :
The programme begins with theoretical courses followed by a pratical mission.
The theoretical courses (8 months) are divided in two parts:
First part: core competencies (4 months)
This part takes place in the MINES ParisTech research center CEP in Sophia Antipolis near Nice:
1. Basic technical knowledge on the different renewable energy technologies
2. Core Solar
3. Core Wind
4. Core Bioenergy
5. Core Water
Second part: specialization (4 months)
This part take place in one of the 6 European Universities partners of the programme in Spain, Germany, United Kingdom or Greece.
To know more about the program, see the Advanced Master's ENR web site.
Practical mission (6 months)
The practical mission is realized in an industrial context, in a company or a research center in connection with a specialization. The student will be supervised by a researcher and a representative from the company hosting the mission. The mission will be closed by a professional thesis and an oral defense.
