Objectives

To train future global executives responsible for the planning and design of vehicles, transportation systems and mobility services in the issues of sustainable development, the Masters mobilizes a wide range of specialist spheres (engineering, economics, planning) and specific tools (modelling, institution analysis, management) for:

• a good understanding and model of the real determinants of transportation demand (freight and passenger);
• determining the appropriate domains of the different transportation modes or modal combinations;
• identifying, structuring and implementing technological, organizational and behavioral solutions to provide credible operational responses to the challenges of sustainable transportation;
• managing cross-cultural factors;
• supporting private and public actors in the development of a range of innovative and relevant mobility services.

Benefits

• A program that combines engineering, social sciences, and management, to provide appropriate solutions for complex problems;
• A highly international framework that offers the opportunity both to develop skills in intercultural management and to work on the priorities and solutions of sustainable transportation in context;
• A strong link with the working world, a 6-month internship within a French company or institution;
• A pedagogical approach founded in frontline innovative research into sustainable cities, energy, materials, environmental economics, sustainable management…;
• A degree taught by three of the best “Grandes Écoles” in the field of engineering, offering a guarantee of high quality and individual student support;
• Ah, Paris!

Careers

This degree opens up career opportunities abroad or in France within national or international companies or organizations, or in national, regional, and local government, in the following roles: 

• Designing sustainable vehicles and mobility services
• Operating transit infrastructures or services
• Planning, developing, marketing, regulating transit networks
• Auditing or managing sustainable development policy for a company or institution

Openings

This Masters degree trains engineers, managers, and decision-makers in sustainable methods of governance. It opens the way to national or international careers in all sectors where there is a strong interface with transit  systems: 

• Transportation infrastructure companies and major transportation network operators
• Service firms: urban transit operators, new private mobility operators (Vinci Parc, Bolloré, Google...)
• International organizations: OECD, World Bank, AIE, CE, PNUE...
• National, regional, and municipal government
