MS CIRCULAR ECONOMY ENGINEERING APPLIED TO SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
Companies and organizations involved in the valorization of alternative materials have expressed their need for qualified staff specialized in the circular economy, recycling and valorization. They have formalized their skill requirements to address emerging issues in sustainable materials recycling and eco-design, particularly in the regulated context of the anti-waste law for a circular economy.
The aim is to offer high-level training to individuals/companies facing with circular economy challenges, to develop a circular economy sector approach, creating territorial or even national value, and finally to address sectors of activity and trades/skills in shortage, as specified by France Compétences.
The opportunities offered by the Post Master’s program “Circular economy engineering applied to sustainable materials” correspond to these development priorities.
Objectives
The aim is to train specialist managers to master the tools and methods for managing and building projects around the circular economy and the valorization of secondary raw materials from the linear economy. Trained specialists will be able to lead projects in the fields of production and new technologies.

- As part of their professional thesis (or end-of-studies internship), students must carry out a complete, independent study of a real-life industrial subject provided by a company or research organization.
The objectives of the end-of-studies internship are to enable students to :
- Put into practice their ability to grasp an industrial problem in its broadest sense: scientific, economic, organizational, relational, human, etc.
- Refine their approach and integrate it into the professional world.
