By uniquely integrating these diverse aspects, the Graduate School of Sustainability and Transitions meets the increasing demand from students and both public and private organizations seeking to address significant societal challenges related to ecological issues. Beyond academic research, graduates will naturally find opportunities in companies, consulting firms, research organizations, local governments, ministries, international organizations, and NGOs (at local, national, or international levels).
Graduates from the Graduate School of Sustainability and Transitions programs will not only be able to theorize about the issues but also adeptly solve practical problems for various stakeholders across different scales. The active participation of high-level international students will contribute to fostering intercultural exchanges and building graduate networks, promoting regional and international mobility. Additionally, the master’s programs linked to work ensure enduring partnerships and sustainable professional prospects.
Our partners
Centre des Politiques de la Terre
CPT
The Graduate School Sustainability & Transition has developed a close partnership with the Earth Politics Center (Centre Politique de la Terre/CPT), which constitutes one of the scientific pillars of the program. This partnership makes it possible to articulate approaches from the humanities and social sciences, the life sciences, and environmental sciences around contemporary sustainability challenges.
Each year, the Graduate School draws on the expertise of the CPT to offer a cycle of transdisciplinary seminars open to master’s students, fostering interdisciplinarity, the discovery of ongoing research, and the integration of students into a scientific community committed to socio-ecological transformations.
This collaboration also helps to structure joint training programs, support student mobility, and strengthen the international visibility of the research conducted within Université Paris Cité.
