Professional Master's in Earth Sciences (Environmental Technologies)

This professional master's program addresses environmental technologies used in civil, chemical, geological, and agri-food engineering practice. Offered jointly by INRS and Universite Laval's Department of Geology and Geological Engineering, it integrates five existing master's programs to build interdisciplinary skills for solving environmental problems. The program leads to a Master of Science (M.Sc.) and is a thesis-free, professional 45-credit program of full-time study. Courses are delivered in French, with language courses available for non-francophone students. Admission normally requires a bachelor's degree in geology, geological engineering, or an equivalent related discipline, with additional undergraduate coursework sometimes required for candidates from related but different backgrounds. Graduates go on to work in mining and petroleum industries, government resource agencies, municipal planning departments, engineering consulting firms, and educational institutions. The program admits students for the Fall and Winter terms.
