General Content

The Bachelor's first year is common to all students. From the second year onwards, students choose one of the three study paths:

the aim of Environmental Studies is to cover various areas of knowledge, ranging from an understanding of the social implications of the environmental question to the large-scale physical and chemical processes affecting the environment, as well as the management of environmental risks.
the aim of Geographical Studies is to understand how the relations between man, his habitat and his environment are organised when the latter is subject to strong socio-technical or physical constraints.
Geological Studies focus on the approaches and methods used to analyse, represent and understand the evolution of the structure of rocks and the subsoil.
