Physics
This international specialty is co-accredited by IUEM to UBO and by ENSTA Bretagne. It aims to provide students the knowledge of the physical and dynamic properties of the marine environment and related engineering elements (especially ships). It has 4 courses: Ocean and Climate Physics (POC), Marine Geophysics (GM), Naval Hydrodynamics (HN) and Data sciences. GM, HN et POC have a common block in M1: fluid mechanics, solids, applied mathematics, data analysis, numerical modelling. The specializations for each course are more important in M2. The SDO course is only offered in M2. The training is based on long academic or industrial research internships at the end of M2.
This Master’s degree allows access to doctoral training within the framework of the Doctoral School of Marine and Coastal Sciences, as well as to jobs as a research engineer in many regional, national or foreign companies. The context in Brest is particularly developed for marine science and technologies.
The new Ocean Data Science course opened at the start of the 2020 academic year. Following this pathway and then taking a year of Marine Geomatics at ENSTA Bretagne (subject to admission by application) will lead to a diploma from this leading engineering school.
The Marine Physics/Marine Sciences program in cooperation with graduate engineering schools in Brest, is international and taught essentially in English (see the site for more information).
The program focuses on the physics of the sea (POC specialty), of the Earth particularly under the sea (GM specialty) and of ships and naval structures (HN specialty). In M1 the common scientific basics (Fluid and solid mechanics, applied maths, numerical analysis) are taught. In M2, the specific knowledge of each specialty is taught. Projects and internships are essential in the program. Relation with research centres and with private companies are central to research training.
Attending and validating this specialty and then validating the (one-year) specialty Marine Geomatics (provided the results of the M2 are good) would lead to obtaining the Engineering Degree of ENSTA Bretagne.

Training course
Ocean Physics and Climate
The course is based on the Laboratory for Ocean Physics and Satellite remote sensing (LOPS), the Laboratory of Environmental Marine Sciences (LEMAR), both of IUEM laboratories, the Hydrography, Oceanography and Meteorology department of SHOM, the Laboratory of Coastal Hydrodynamics of CEREMA.
Opportunities: research, teaching and research, consulting firms (impact of ocean circulation, or extreme events on offshore structures, on coastal erosion, on marine ecology, on exploitation of marine resources, or changes in pollution levels).
Marine Geophysics
The course is based on the Geo-Ocean Laboratory (GO), which is a research unit, and the Marine Geosciences Department of Ifremer.
Opportunities: research, teaching and research, research and development in the fields of marine energies, offshore / petroleum, marine mineral resources, and in consulting firms (sedimentary transport, coastal risks…).
Naval Hydrodynamics
The course is based on the Dupuy de Lôme Research Institute (IRDL, FRE, Brest) and the Institut de Recherche de l’École Navale (IRENAV).
Opportunities: research, teaching and research, consulting firms and test centres, marine energies, architecture and shipbuilding.

Marine Environmental Chemistry
Within IUEM, this Master’s degree is linked to the Laboratory of Environmental Marine Sciences (LEMAR/UBO-CNRS-IRD-Ifremer) and the Geo-Ocean Laboratory (GO/UBO-CNRS-Ifremer-UBS). Both laboratories include a lot of teachers-researchers and researchers likely to participate in teaching and/or offer internships to students.
This Master’s degree in Marine and Coastal Sciences prepares young scientists for a PhD with a strong background in marine and analytical chemistry. It also enables graduates to join an engineering school program or to work directly.
The professions targeted following the training are diverse: teacher-researcher in higher education, researcher in research organisms, senior environmental executive, expert for state services, project manager for local authorities…
The professional environments that welcome these new graduates are universities, research centres, chemical and/or environmental engineering departments, chemical analysis and quality control laboratories, and public service organizations.
Training course
Marine Environmental Chemistry
Following this course, the graduate:
- has a strong background in theoretical and applied chemistry and masters the fundamental concepts of marine chemistry.
- has specific knowledge in marine biology, physical oceanography and marine geosciences that enable to approach the plurality of mechanisms that govern the functioning of marine ecosystems.
- has the ability to use and interpret results from modern analytical techniques (Mass Spectrometry, ICP-MS, CPG, HPLC, spectroscopy, electrochemical techniques).
- is able to develop an autonomous scientific approach aimed to respond to an environmental problematic (state of an ecosystem, prediction of its evolution) by implementing on-site sampling techniques, experimental laboratory protocols and by interpreting the data obtained.
- has a capacity to synthesize written and oral scientific documents.
