Advanced Master in Safety Engineering and Management

An advanced Master's degree in Safety Engineering and Management

Today, society is faced with two objectives which seem to be contradictory:

• innovation which implies taking risks whilst
• guaranteeing safety for all by controlling these risks.

This Advanced Master’s / Mastère Spécialisé in « Safety Engineering & Management » provides the required skills to take up the challenge.

This vital control of technological risks involves all sectors: transportation (air, rail, road, etc.), energy (nuclear plants, oil and gas platforms, refineries, dams, fuel cells, etc.), production (pharmaceutical, agribusiness, manufacturing, etc.), construction, waste disposal, etc.

An education supported by top-level research

INSA-Toulouse provides a range of 8 engineering specializations , including computer sciences, civil engineering, mathematical engineering and biochemical engineering. Its courses, linked to the latest scientific advances, are supported by the activity of leading-edge research laboratories , backed by large industrial groups, for example in the fields of new materials for aeronautics, environmental protection techniques, and nano-objects.

Innovative pedagogy for long-lasting learning

Throughout the course, the students are confronted with concrete, complex projects and problems on which they work in groups, with the help of teachers when requested. No questions, no lectures, etc. is the principle behind this active learning approach, experimented by renowned universities in America and Northern Europe, and now advocated by UNESCO.

Engineers open to the world

The international dimension has been a priority for INSA since it opened and international sections have gradually been set up. On campus, one in five students is an international student.

INSA welcomes students with a wide range of profiles: students with a technological "Baccalaureat" , students opting for a cooperative education alternating periods of academic study and industrial experience and continuing education students.

Being open to the world also involves the student’s commitment to the community which is highly valued and gives ECTS credits as part of the course.
