Course Details

Objectives : The STPE RNET Master's program trains scientists at the Baccalaureate +5 level in the applied and fundamental fields of atmospheric and climate sciences or geomatics and remote sensing applied to geosciences, always in tropical regions.

Students can choose from four tracks:
1. Atmosphere/Climate (AC)
2. Geomatics and Remote Sensing (GT)
3. Geophysics
4. Hydrogeology, Soil, and Environment

Note that only tracks 1 and 2 are completed entirely in Réunion Island.
The program is aligned with the exceptional natural features of Réunion Island and the Indian Ocean, drawing on internationally recognized laboratories in the fields of environmental observation and management, risks, and tropical territories. Regardless of the chosen path, the RNET Master's degree emphasizes the permanent link between observation, measurements (field, laboratory, observatories, Earth observation satellites), their processing, their modeling and their operational integration. For this reason, the training is divided between disciplines close to observation and fieldwork and others more quantitative.

Degree Level (EU) : 7 - (EQC level or equivalent)

Acquired skills during the training : The RNET Master presents an original character due to its interdisciplinarity since it combines the knowledge necessary for the understanding of measurement by remote sensing and geomatics instruments with various applications in the field of the atmosphere, hydrology, geophysics and geography.

The skills can be implemented within the framework of professions related to research, teaching and management of the environment, territory and risks in a context of climate change and adaptation.

Targeted careers : - Areas: Natural risks, land use planning, agriculture, climate, pollution, defense and security, etc.
- Research, development and teaching

- Public and private sectors

Examples of positions:
- Geomatics mission manager for local authorities (communities of municipalities, Regional Council, State services)
- Independent consultant or in a design office
- Emergency and security manager
- Territory surveillance professions

Duration and terms : 2 years
