OBJECTIVES

Presentation

“Would you like to become a specialist and be trained to master the fundamental tools of the geosciences (geophysics, geochemistry, geology, analogue and digital modelling)?
Then this degree is just for you.
You will acquire the skills required to progress in a fast-growing field of activity. After completing this course, you will be able to tackle issues relating to the Earth, the hydrosphere and the atmosphere, on very large time and space scales, using a scientific approach based on precise knowledge. You will be able to analyse, understand and react to environmental problems in aquatic and terrestrial environments.”
In addition to this course, a Master’s programme in engineering is available: https://www.univ-larochelle.fr/formation/nos-formations/cursus-master-ingenierie-cmi
