Description
EFM is a high level one-year training in fluid dynamics of natural media, including chemistry and biology coupling, complemented with numerical and experimental methods.
The program is based on the broad expertise available in Grenoble, with internationally recognized researchers in the fields of fundamental fluid mechanics closely linked to modelling and observations of natural media.
The program is organised as follows :
- First semester : lectures, tutorials and laboratory work
- Second semester : five month research internship in a Grenoble laboratory or in a laboratory of our foreign partners.
Opportunities for graduates :
- PhD thesis in Grenoble
- Joint PhD thesis between a Grenoble laboratory and a foreign laboratory
- PhD thesis in a foreign country
- A career in industry or in environmental agencies

-completed the first year of a Master's program, or
-obtained a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, physics, Earth sciences, applied mathematics, or
-graduated from a school of mechanical or civil engineering.
* A good knowledge in fluid mechanics is required. This is attested by the lectures you attended related to this field and the grades you received.
* The English proficiency should be equivalent to TOEFL, minimum score is 79-80 (Internet based) or 520 (paper based), or IELTS 6. The test itself is not required but we'll ask you to attest of your English proficiency.
