Notice : If the president of the cycle's panel agrees, in particular regarding the technical content, the master's integrated project can be part of an interdisciplinary project (e.g. project engineer, Eurobot, Eco-Shell Marathon, etc.). It is possible to have done the project between the third year of the bachelor's degree and the second year of the master's.
Notice : in agreement with the president of the jury, students who didn't take the minor and/or major `Georesources and Environment¿ option during their bachelor¿s degree at ULg, can achieve the required level by choosing the courses lacking in their curriculum from among the block 2 and block 3 courses in the `Georesources and Environment¿ option (formerly `Geological Engineering¿) of the bachelor¿s degree. In agreement with the president of the jury, a course may also be chosen from among the other master¿s degrees offered by the Faculty of Applied Sciences or from the Master in Geology (Faculty of Sciences).

It is possible to have done the project between the third year of the bachelor's degree and the second year of the master's.
Notice : The master is "bilingual French/English". Therefore, students who actively master French and/or English and another language passively will be capable of following the classes.
On a practical level, students can communicate with staff in both languages. Course material exists in both French and English (pdf, ppt and reference books). Students must indicate in which language they would like the questions to be.
