Hands-on experience
Thanks to the teaching methods, combining theoretical and practical approaches, the program prepares students to be skilled professionals, ready to enter either the corporate world or the field of research depending on their career plans. Students learn through Project-Based Learning, individual and group work, case studies and field visits. Internships in companies or research institutes allow students to confront the reality of the professional world and to be ready and competitive for the job market.
In addition, JUNIA is committed to offer a global learning experience, helping the students develop a more international perspective on the topic. A number of international experts from partner universities or companies participate in giving lectures, supervising projects and providing professional guidance.
Moreover, students get the opportunity to attend international conferences and participate in several field trips and study tours in France & Europe

Research in soils & environment
‘The Environmental Science and Pollution Management program was birthed from the decades of experience of researchers at JUNIA who are part of the Laboratory of Civil Engineering and Geo-Environment (LGCgE), which regroups several research units in the north of France. One of the principal thematic areas of the research group is the functioning of anthropogenic terrestrial ecosystems with a focus on the fate of pollutants in the environment matrices, their impact on ecosystems, and the phytoremediation of contaminated sites. Scientific publications of researchers can be found here.’
