Director : Stephane Nottin

Teaching and laboratory team

The teaching team is made up of around ten teacher-researchers in hydrology-hydrogeology belonging to the UMR EMMAH, and external contributors who are specialists in the fields of irrigation, polluted sites and soils, environmental and hydrology consultancies, joint water management syndicates, etc.
Outline of the course

Admission

Admission requirements

Access to the work-linked vocational degree in Water Professions is based on a portfolio of applications and proof of 2 years' experience in the field, as well as a work-linked contract with a public or private organisation:
- From another university with a Bac+2 in SVT, ST, STU or Geology
- Graduates of a BCPST, PC or PSI preparatory course Graduates of a BTSA GEMEAU or BTS Métiers de l'eau (advanced vocational diploma in water management)
- Graduates of a DUT in biological engineering with an environmental engineering option
- Holders of an undergraduate degree in SVT or Geology equivalent to a French licence 2 SVT or STU
- Having access to a work-linked training contract with an external organisation

For non-French-speaking students, a good command of French is required (TCF or TEF level 5, DALF C1).

Accepted students will be tasked with finding a company for their work-study placement, with the support of Avignon University's SFTLV. For these companies, students are strongly advised to have a driving licence.

Enrolment in the HSE Master's programme is not automatic, but is subject to conditions of excellence. It is also advisable to follow Avignon Université's non-rotating STE degree, to have a better chance of getting into the Master's programme.
