The Environmental Science program prepares students to be operational professionals even before graduating, thanks to our both theoretical and practical approach. The teaching methods provide students from various backgrounds and cultures with the operational and managerial skills required in the corporate world. Students learn through Problem/Project Based Learning (PBL) approach, with a lot of group works and case studies, field visits where students can see first-hand the jobs they might choose for their future professional life, and industrial projects over the 2 years of the program. Internships in a company or a laboratory allow students to confront the reality of the professional world and prepare them for their entry into active employment.
ISA Lille is part of a corporate network gathering over 200 companies. For 8 years, ISA Lille has organized an annual Company and Career Day. This event gives all students a chance to meet a representative from the corporate world or a partner company.
Environmental Science graduates get diverse jobs and positions in the following departments: R&D, Prevention and Reduction of Pollution and Risks, Management of Polluted Sites. In addition, many of our Environmental Science graduates go on to pursue a PhD.
