Master in Civil engineering
Geomechanics, civil engineering and risks 2nd year
Presentation and goals
The international GCER program, co-accredited with G-INP, is based on:
- The international 1st year, which is entirely common to the two specialisations Civil engineering and Mechanics and leads to three international programs, including GCER
- At master 2nd level, three specialised courses worth 3 ECTS are common to the HCE program and the ENSE3, one module worth 3 ECTS is common to the HCE, and one specialised course is shared with the STE specialisation. More than 80% of the courses in this program at 2nd years level are part of the Earthquake engineering program of the Erasmus Mundus MEEES (Master in Earthquake engineering and engineering seismology)
The Geomechanics, civil engineering and risks (GCER) program is an international course primarily intended for students wishing to focus on research (PhD thesis) in the field of geomechanics and civil engineering in France or abroad, with a view to pursuing a career as teacher-researcher in a University, researcher in a large public organisation (CNRS etc) or R&D engineer within a company.
This Master Course gives you the opportunity to apply to the UGA Graduate School and one of its 15 thematic programs. The Graduate School@UGA is a new training programme through and for research which was launched in 2021 within the Université Grenoble Alpes, and which concerns all the schools and components of the UGA.
The objective of these thematic programs is to offer interested students an interdisciplinary training program and academic excellence combining university studies and laboratory internships. Each thematic program develops a specific line of research, allowing then to embark on a PhD, or to have a direct professional insertion.
The program regroups students registered in different mentions, master programs or engineer school tracks and working together in specific courses
Participation in the Graduate School@UGA is for two years (M1 and M2) and may open the possibility of obtaining an academic scholarship for two years for the best international students (non-French baccalaureate holders).
