The Master Earth, Planets, Environment of Lyon is a training of excellence in Research & Development in Earth Sciences.

Your teachers are internationally renowned researchers in their field, who will be keen to train you in their discipline.
This first year of Master includes a first half of the year shared by all students which will provide you with the mandatory skills for a future career in R&D (experience in a research laboratory of several months, digital skills, English, etc.). The rest of the year is to be built according to your affinities. A very wide choice of options will allow you to specialize in paleontology, sedimentology, internal processes of the Earth (dynamics, mineralogy…), planetology, geochemistry, tectonics, geomorphology…. Your Master year is completely customizable!
More than 90% of former students are running a PhD program. After their PhDs, our former students have pursued careers in French or international academic research, or in French or international R&D companies. This master, open to international exchanges, is entirely taught in English.
It is also co-accredited between 3 institutions: ENS-Lyon, University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and Jean Monnet University (Saint-Étienne). This means that the courses are provided by researchers from these 3 institutions. However, the classes will only take place on 2 campus: the ENS Lyon Campus and the Doua Campus (Lyon 1 University).
