- Corporate strategy
The Energy, Finance and Carbon (EFC) program trains economists to translate the industrial and economic strategies of major players in the energy and environmental sectors into practical solutions, helping them address the challenges of tomorrow’s energy systems and the interconnected issues of energy, finance, and carbon.
The program focuses on future energy challenges, enabling students to develop strong knowledge and skills in energy economics and finance, while taking climate change into account to address real-world business challenges. It also allows students to deepen their expertise in environmental issues.
Students can choose between a research-oriented or professional track, and may pursue the program through initial education or continuing education.
International mobility is also possible during the second semester.
Some courses are taught in English and are open to international students. The program brings together a diverse faculty, including academic experts and international professionals.
Teaching methods
The program consists of 400 hours of instruction, spread out between September and March.
- Small cohort size, teaching in French or in English
- Students on the professional track must complete an internship of at three-six months' duration beginning as early as April.
- The internship is optional for students on the research track.
- Students in both tracks must produce a thesis.
- The program can be taken as continuing education, but the curriculum must be followed exactly as prescribed.
This program offers: - Two initial training tracks: professional and research. The professional track usually has a cohort of 20 students; the research track has around 12.
- A research track has a few additional features:
- The second year of the Research master's is a national diploma (DN)
- Options for the research track: at least four of the eight
- A connection to CGEMP doctoral students who took the second year research Master's program
- A connection to the three research chairs
- Instructors with extensive experience advising dissertators
There is also a continuing education option alongside the initial training program. The program is aimed both at professionals who are already working in the energy and carbon sector, but want more theoretical knowledge, and at professionals from other spheres whose career goals include the addition of new skills.
The program's students gain a thorough understanding of the implications of growing financialization and the energy-environment continuum in the context of the development of clean, low-emissions carbon to help combat climate change.
Issues such as these are central to an evolving global economic and financial landscape. The second year of the Energy, Finance, Carbon program gives students the tools and expertise necessary to tackle these new strategic challenges head-on and take action in a national, European, and international context.Language of instruction: French
