Presentation
Master in Hydraulics, Civil and Environmental Engineering (HCEE)
Created in 2011, the international Master program in Hydraulics, Civil and Environmental Engineering at Grenoble INP-UGA is one of the most widely recognized programs in the fields of hydraulics, mechanical engineering and civil engineering, in connection with new environmental challenges. It enables students to acquire the scientific knowledge needed to develop projects to preserve, anticipate and manage water resources, while at the same time giving them the keys to designing civil engineering structures in connection with hydraulics and the natural risks exacerbated by climate change. This dual expertise in ‘hydrology’ and ‘structural design/analysis’ is what makes this Master's programme unique.

International education
Internationally-oriented programmes
International dimension
The Master's degree is a one - or two - year program that can be integrated into M1 or M2 depending on the student's most recent university degree (Bachelor's or Master's). 100% taught in English, it welcomes students from all over the world every year.
At the end of the course, half the students find a job in the industry as an engineer/manager, while the other half pursue their dissertation studies to obtain a doctorate.

And after
Sector(s)
Thanks to its dual focus, the HCEE Master's degree enables students to work in ‘hydrology’ and/or ‘civil engineering’ oriented fields.
Targeted trades
The sectors concerned are project management (public or private), design offices, inspection offices and consultancy firms, water concessionaires and research in the fields of design of exceptional structures for which water flows are dimensioning factors.
It is also possible to pursue a doctoral thesis in the fields of civil engineering specializing in hydraulic structures, water and soil management.
