MSc in Low-Carbon Industry and Environmental Management

Programme overview

Study industrial processes, material and energy flows, emissions and environmental indicators. Build traceable inventories and compare practical improvement options. Advanced study integrates low-carbon strategy, lifecycle assessment, resource efficiency and environmental project management.

Environnement & Industrie Durable Paris — Paris College of Environment and Sustainable Industry. Duration: 2 years.

MSc study builds on relevant undergraduate foundations, with advanced methods, complex cases and independent research or applied projects.

Industrial decarbonisation; resource efficiency; environmental management. All pathways share a common core. Indicate your preferred pathway when applying; actual availability is confirmed before admission.

Learning outcomes

Develop industrial processes skills in advanced analysis: material and energy flows, explaining methods, evidence and limitations.

Develop environmental inventories skills in advanced analysis: emissions, resources and traceability, explaining methods, evidence and limitations.

Develop lifecycle foundations skills in advanced analysis: boundaries, indicators and comparison, explaining methods, evidence and limitations.

Develop low-carbon options skills in advanced analysis: technical feasibility and performance, explaining methods, evidence and limitations.

Develop environmental management skills in advanced analysis: monitoring, responsibilities and action, explaining methods, evidence and limitations.

Develop applied project skills in advanced analysis: industrial improvement plan, explaining methods, evidence and limitations.

Learning content and competency modules

Study progression

Year 1: deepen specialist methods, undertake literature or case research and define an independent project.

Year 2: complete a research or applied project, evaluate methods and outcomes, and submit a final report and oral defence.

Projects and practice

Develop a low-carbon industrial transition project with lifecycle evidence and implementation priorities.

Document the problem, working process, personal contribution, validation evidence and limitations. Individual contributions are assessed within team projects. Placements and external projects depend on actual arrangements.

Teaching and assessment

Theory, computational laboratories, system simulations, data workshops and project reviews use public, synthetic or authorised information. The programme focuses on scientific and civilian applications.

Assignments, case or laboratory work, staged projects and the final defence assess accuracy, methods, evidence quality, practical reliability and communication. Assessment weightings, reassessment and extension rules are published before teaching begins. Moodle may support resources, assignments, quizzes and feedback; specialist practical activities are assessed separately.

Entry requirements

Provide evidence of relevant undergraduate study or equivalent experience. Applicants should demonstrate mathematics and science foundations appropriate to the programme. MSc applicants should explain relevant environmental, engineering, energy or data study.

Submit education evidence, transcripts, a CV, a motivation statement and any requested project materials. Teaching language, language evidence and document-translation requirements are published for the intake. Website language does not determine teaching language.

Completion and institutional diploma

Complete the required modules and assessments, final project and oral defence. The programme leads to an institutional MSc diploma in Low-Carbon Industry and Environmental Management.

Career development

Industrial decarbonisation projects; environmental management; lifecycle assessment. Employment depends on individual skills, experience and employer requirements. Regulated work requires the applicable qualifications and authorisations. Further study is assessed by the receiving institution.
