Energy Masters

The graduate will be able to carry out energy project development or management assignments in the context of non-interconnected and/or isolated electricity networks. The knowledge and skills on offer cover a broad spectrum of fundamental and applied sciences relating to: energy production, storage and management, analysis of process operation, problem diagnosis, the use of spatial computing (GIS, spatial databases) and project management.

Cross-disciplinary skills

• Ability to work in an international context
• Working independently: setting priorities, managing time,
• Working in a team: fitting in, positioning yourself, collaborating
• Communicating: writing clearly, preparing appropriate communications media,
• Speaking in front of a group and commenting on material

Scientific and technical skills

• Developing capabilities in energy management, storage and conversion,
• Develop skills in analysing the operation of production processes and diagnosing problems.

Subject-specific skills

• Graduates will be able to carry out the tasks assigned to a research, development or project management executive in a company, academic laboratory or local authority.
• The knowledge and skills acquired will enable them to :
• Work as part of a multidisciplinary team covering a broad spectrum of fundamental and applied sciences
• Work in a disciplinary team on the management, storage or conversion of Energy
• Analysing the operation of processes and proposing modifications to improve energy yields/efficiency.
• Developing energy production and storage solutions for isolated and/or self-sufficient sites.
