M2 MECE: Environmental management in public and private-sector organizations

Apply

The MECE training program in environmental management has been designed for students seeking to work in an organizational setting, whether it be a local authority or company, focused on developing environmental impact mitigation policy. The objective behind such a specialty is to propose a comprehensive curriculum for future industry executives or agency directors, who while taking a generalist's approach to Health-Safety-Environment (HSE) issues also become capable of exposing, understanding and solving the kinds of problems their employers might encounter regarding the environment, safety and quality. Such a capability entails learning: systems operations, impact magnitude analysis, status checks with respect to standards and regulations, and implementation of positive technical strategies aimed at improving the current situation. This major is paired with a work-study pathway featuring internships.

Target population :

  • Graduates of university degree programs (4-year Maîtrise or Master's 1 in Environmental Sciences, Physical Chemistry, Chemistry, etc.)
