Master IGREC - 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 environmentswith 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 has been operating since 2017 in partnership with the GO master's degree atUBO, 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

The degree is managed by the Ocean Geosciences Laboratory (LGO UBS) in collaboration with other UBS laboratories. Courses are organized by a multidisciplinary team of teacher-researchers from the European University Institute of the Sea (UBO IUEM), the University of South Brittany (UBS) and Ifremer. Some courses will be taken atUBO andIfremer.

The managing team gathers researchers registered in research and competitiveness poles recognized at regional, national and international levels, and gathers also professional experts from companies, local authorities... such as : SAUR, IFREMER, Lafarge Granulats, Sablier de l’Atlantique, PNR Golfe du Morbihan, Nass & Wind offshore, CD56, Vannes et Lorient Agglomération,… The participation of these various partners allows a consequent improvement in the chances of profesionnal integration in the economic world.

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