Master IGREC-L - LGO

Objectives

This Master's degree aims to train students to become engineers with multidisciplinary skills in the management of mineral and biological resources in coastal and marine environments with teaching of risk and vulnerability notions. These skills will allow them to adapt, anticipate and respond to territorial issues in coastal areas, knowing the European legal and socio-economic framework.

The main characteristic of this degree is its transdisciplinarity throughout the program.
The Master's degree IGREC-L has been operating since 2017 in partnership with theUBO, l'Ifremer andIUEM.

Internships

The program includes several internships during the 1st and 2nd year :

• A field internship of one week at the beginning of the 1st year at the biology station of the Bailleron isle in the Gulf of Morbihan. Through this internship students will learn how to collect and analyse data on the field with the proper equipment for topography, hydrodynamics and sedimentology.
• Two field internships during the 1 st year on an oceanographic ship. Through this internship, students will learn how to collect and analyze acoustic data for stratigraphic studies of the marine and coastal bottom and sub-bottom structures.
• A compulsory internship of at least 2 months at the end of the 1st year will be carried out in a laboratory, a private company, a collectivity...
• A compulsory internship of at least 6 months at the end of the 2nd year will be carried out in a laboratory, a private company, a collectivity...

Partnership with laboratories

Ce Master est adossé au laboratoire Geo-Ocean en collaboration avec d'autres laboratoires de l’UBS. L’enseignement est organisé par une équipe pluridisciplinaire d’enseignants-chercheurs et de chercheurs de l’Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer (UBO), de l’Université de Bretagne Sud (UBS) et de l’Ifremer. Certaines parties de la formation seront réalisées à l’UBO andIfremer.

L’équipe pédagogique rassemble des chercheurs inscrits dans des pôles de recherche et de compétitivité reconnus à l’échelle régionale, nationale et internationale et aussi des experts professionnels issus des entreprises partenaires, bureaux d’études, des collectivités territoriales… : SAUR, IFREMER, Lafarge Granulats, Sablier de l’Atlantique, PNR Golfe du Morbihan, Nass & Wind offshore, CD56, Vannes et Lorient Agglomération,… qui sauront répondre aux exigences requises afin d’optimiser les chances d’intégration au sein du monde économique.

The partnerships with foreign research laboratories (Canada, Malaysia, Morocco, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Indonesia, etc.) make it possible to offer international internships to the students stages à l'international.
