new_double_logo

7Le Master Terre, Planètes, Environnement de Lyon est une formation d’excellence à la Recherche & Développement en Sciences de la Terre. Les enseignements sont issus des thématiques de recherche de pointe du Laboratoire de Géologie de Lyon (LGL-TPE), leader mondial de la recherche en Géosciences. Vos enseignants sont des chercheurs de renommée internationale dans leur domaine, qui auront à cœur de vous former à leur discipline.

The first year of the Master's program includes a core curriculum for half of the year, which will provide you with the essential skills for a future career in R&D (several months' experience in a research laboratory, digital skills, English, etc.). The rest of the year is designed according to your preferences and professional project. A wide range of options will allow you to specialize in paleontology, sedimentology, internal Earth processes (dynamics, mineralogy...), planetology, geochemistry, tectonics, geomorphology.... Your program is entirely customizable!

Plus de 70% de nos diplômés de Master choisissent d’obtenir ensuite un doctorat. Au delà, nos anciens étudiants poursuivent de beaux parcours dans la recherche académique française ou internationale, ou bien s’orientent en R&D d’entreprises innovantes françaises ou étrangères. Ce master, ouvert aux échanges internationaux, est entièrement enseigné en anglais. 

The Master's degree is co-accredited by 3 institutions: ENS de Lyon, Université Lyon 1 and Université Jean Monnet (Saint-Étienne). This means that the courses are taught by researchers from these 3 institutions. However, the courses will only take place on two campuses: the ENS de Lyon campus and the LyonTech- laDoua campus.
