Objectives

One of the world’s most pressing challenges is to meet the fast-growing energy demand while at the same time reducing greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions. Today, and for the foreseeable future, 80% of the energy consumed in France comes from fossil fuels (over 85% in developed countries, and almost 100% in developing countries), but the production of renewable and nuclear energy is bound to increase sharply. This situation opens exciting new challenges in developing cleaner and more efficient energy production methods, as well as more effective energy distribution systems.The general objectives of the M1 are to:
• provide the scientific background required in the field of energy. In particular in transport phenomena, chemical engineering, materials, reactive media, treatment and conversion of electrical energy;
• give, through the core curriculum, an introduction to great energy challenges;
• give a first experience of numerical methods required to solve complex problems.

Skills
  • Identify major issues in the energy field.

  • Overall organisation

    One of the major contemporary challenges is meeting the growing global energy demand while reducing greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions. Today, nearly 80% of the energy consumed in France (and more than 85% in developed countries) still comes from fossil fuels, but the share of renewable and nuclear energy is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.
    This transition paves the way for major innovation challenges in the production of cleaner and more efficient energy, as well as in the development of high-performance and sustainable distribution systems.

    Course Prerequisites

    Good background in physics, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering or electrical engineering and strong skills in mathematics.Bachelor level or equivalent.

    Post-graduate profile

    The students of the M1 research program will benefit from the industrial partnership of the CentraleSupelec and the University Paris-Saclay in the field of energy: production, transport and distribution of energy, propulsion, etc. This partnership takes various forms such as conferences, classes or student projects. The goal of this Master 1 program is to provide solid scientific foundations in the field of energy science. In particular, it prepares students to join all M2 specialties offered in the Energy program of University Paris-Saclay. All M1 classes are given in English and intensive French courses are scheduled for non-French-speaking students in order to give them access to the M2 specialties which are mostly taught in French.
