Want an international experience?
Curious about environmental issues in China and
Europe? Consider a multi-master's degree in
international environmental management!
Advanced graduate students at Penn can apply for admission. Upon completion of their studies, students will receive a Mastère Spécialisè degree in Environmental Management from the Ecole des Mines de Paris in France and a Master of Engineering degree from Tsinghua University in China, in addition to the Master of Environmental Studies degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
The central purpose of the program is to bring together highly qualified individuals from France, China, and the United States with a variety of master’s degrees in a unique and rigorous program that will prepare them to manage complex international environmental challenges.
Students who have completed the
program focused on climate change, sustainable urban
development in China, a lifecycle analysis of
nuclear power, green building in Korea, greening NBC
Universal, REDD+, and corporate social
responsibility initiatives in China.
The seminars are generally given in English and run
from October to the end of May. The cost of the
program is dependent on whether the internship
company sponsors the student in the program, in
which case the company pays 22,000 euros, or if the
student self-finances the program, the tuition is
12,000 euros. This is in addition to the tuition for
the time spent at Penn. Additional living costs are
estimated at 5000 euros for the entire course of the
program.
The program consists of:
- Eight course units in the
MES program at Penn
- Five months of courses, lectures, site visits,
case studies and projects at MINES ParisTech in
Fontainebleau
- Three months of courses, lectures, site visits,
case studies and projects at the Environmental
Science and Engineering Department of Tsinghua
University in Beijing China
-
A six-month internship with a corporation that the student has previously arranged. The
post-internship report will serve as the Capstone
for MES students.
Each participating student has the responsibility
for arranging an internship with an international
company. The internships are designed to give the
student a chance to address a complex and
ill-defined environmental problem in which the
employer is interested, and the opportunity to apply
the knowledge gained in the courses during the first
eight months to the solution of the environmental
problem. The placements can be with industrial
firms, social service agencies, consulting firms,
and governmental agencies.
