The goal of this training is to develop specialists in the physical study of the coastline, to understand natural processes, their evolution in the context of climate change, and anthropogenic pressures. It aims to train experts in coastal dynamics, coastal engineering & geotechnics, coastal risks and resources, innovative protection solutions, and sustainable coastal management. This coherent approach is particularly focused on better managing risks and sustainable development. Additionally, this program provides a broad scientific vision necessary to conduct diagnostics of the physical coastal environment: hazards, functioning, and evolution. Finally, the student should be able to take initiatives to propose solutions and alternatives for coastal protection. We prepare students for careers in fundamental research, coastal management and planning, and coastal and port engineering. We place the development of critical thinking at the heart of the training to address environmental issues that are strategically crucial by 2050.
