Master in disaster Management and environmental impact
The Master Of Science DAMAGE (Disaster Management and Environmental Impact) is a training course taught 100% in English, it aims to provide an understanding of the theory and practice on emergency management in local, national and international contexts.
This international training offers knowledge and skills to assess the consequences and respond to disasters in Europe and around the world. It’s oriented mainly on industrial, sanitary and environmental issues. In addition, logistics, engineering and the management of industrial and natural disasters are discussed through concrete cases.
The Master Damage collaborates via courses with one of the main humanitarian NGOs (Médecins Sans Frontières). In addition, the head of the Environment and Culture Unit of the UN mission (MINUSMA) in Mali is part of the teaching staff of the Master.
Many disciplines of engineering sciences are covered (risk and resilience assessment, water and waste treatment), information sciences (computer science, data science) but also human and social sciences (sociology, geographic information systems).
This multidisciplinarity allows students to deepen their knowledge by integrating an international dimension on large-scale crises (industrial accidents, natural disasters, pandemics, etc.).

“As a Disaster management Student in IMT MINES ALES, the course is the balance between academic learning, risk management, crisis management and human welfare. How a society can achieve development by improving mitigation against a hazardous situation, how logistics play an important role in humanitarian aid, all these aspects of disaster/ crisis management are explained by eminent personalities from NGO’s and other peace keeping organizations. These interactions with international experts provide a great opportunity for students in enlarging their thoughts and imagination. So proud to be a part of it.”
