Environment chemistry specialization

This specialisation aims to train engineers skilled in fields such as hydraulic, physical chemistry and chemical engineering to design hydraulic networks, water treatment facilities or environmentally friendly processes. During the interdisciplinary specialisation, students are enlightened about the socio-economic issues concerning lasting activities (rural, urban and industrial areas). The specialisation introduces the tools for geographic analysis, hydrology simulation and sedimentary transport essential to draw territorial development schemes like impact studies or river rehabilitation.
