Description

La Licence Professionnelle en Environnement & Développement Durable d'UNIVGA est un cursus universitaire complet de 3 ans (180 ECTS) qui forme des professionnels capables de piloter une démarche environnementale et RSE en entreprise, ONG ou collectivité africaine, et de conduire des projets de développement durable (eau, assainissement, énergies, gestion des déchets, biodiversité).

Conçue pour répondre aux enjeux climatiques et environnementaux du continent africain et aux exigences croissantes des bailleurs internationaux et des entreprises clientes en matière de RSE, cette formation est dispensée à 100% en ligne. Elle combine la rigueur d'une formation universitaire en sciences de l'environnement et l'opérationnalité d'un poste de chargé d'environnement ou de chargé RSE.

Market issues and career opportunity

Le changement climatique, la pression sur les ressources naturelles, les exigences réglementaires (études d'impact obligatoires) et les attentes RSE des partenaires internationaux créent une forte demande de chargés d'environnement et chargés RSE. Industries (mines, pétrole, agro), ONG environnementales, bureaux d'études, agences publiques et grands bailleurs (BAD, BM, AFD) recrutent activement.

Curriculum pedagogical structure

Année 1 — Fondamentaux scientifiques et environnementaux. Sciences naturelles (biologie, chimie, géologie), écologie générale, écosystèmes africains, mathématiques et statistiques, introduction au management, communication écrite et orale, anglais scientifique, bureautique professionnelle.

Année 2 — Approfondissement environnement et droit. Droit de l'environnement africain, étude d'impact environnemental (EIE), gestion des déchets solides et liquides, eau et assainissement, énergie et énergies renouvelables, climat et atmosphère, anglais environnemental, SIG (Systèmes d'Information Géographique).

Année 3 — Spécialisation pilotage et RSE. Changement climatique et stratégies d'adaptation, biodiversité et gestion des ressources naturelles, économie circulaire et écoconception, RSE et reporting extra-financier (GRI, ODD, IFRS Sustainability), bilan carbone et empreinte écologique, financement des projets verts (climate finance, fonds verts), IA et environnement (capteurs, télédétection, modélisation). Le cursus se conclut par un mémoire professionnel encadré, soutenu oralement en visioconférence devant un jury académique.

Career opportunities
