M1 - First-year Master

The first semester is the same for all students and consists of fundamental oceanography teaching. It takes place entirely on the Paris campus and includes teaching common to the SDUEE training department (Sciences of the Universe, Environment, Ecology).

The second semester offers students the opportunity to begin specializing according to their personal preferences. It takes place on the Paris campus and at the marine stations, and ends with a short introductory research internship.
