Study in Nice and Berlin

Are you interested in sustainable development and energy transition in an international context? Do want you to study and travel between France and Germany?

The one-year Master in Global Energy Transition and Governance delivered by the Centre international de formation européenne aims to analyse the links between the different levels of energy governance, from an international to a local level, offering problem-focused learning at the crossroads of theory and practice.

Following the slogan 'Learning and living Europe', the participants move their place of studies from Nice to Berlin.

The first term (October to December), in Nice, provides students with strong theoretical knowledge on the main international energy-related issues.

In Berlin (January to March), students will explore the topic of energy economic governance while taking part in field visits to explore the potential and practical aspects of the energy industry as well as the means put into practice by cities and organisations.

Back to Nice (April to June), students will participate in simulations and skills workshops, organise a study trip to Brussels and will have time to focus on their Master thesis which will be defended in June.

Course programme

  • 1. International Energy Governance and Conflicts
This module delivers the theoretical knowledge of the main international energy-related issues and conflicts (resource curse, neo-institutionalism, developmentalism, weak/strong states etc.). It also provides the participants with concrete examples of the emergence and regulation of energy conflicts worldwide in order to analyse better how they exert pressure on the security and diversification of the energy supply.
  • 2. Economic Energy Governance and Markets
Economic and market fundamentals are applied to the energy sector in order to understand the current multiple national, regional and local low carbon energy pathways in the world. The module examines how the different markets are regulated and how they influence the transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energies. The economic perspective will highlight the role of liberalisation, privatisation and regulation of the sector.

  • 3. Clean Energy Transitions in the European Union
The aim of this module is to highlight the EU priorities and its decision-making process regarding clean energy transition in Europe, thus helping to understand political economy factors that both inhibit and accelerate it. While focusing on how the different EU policies challenge institutional architectures and multi-level governance schemes, the module provides an insight into issues currently facing European policy makers such as social acceptance, sustainability of renewable energies as well as rapid advancement in clean energy technologies.

  • 4. Cities and Citizens in the Energy Transition Process
Participants will understand how EU regions and cities and more generally territories develop their own low carbon strategy at the crossroads of many policies (housing, waste management, transport, fuel poverty, environment and energy) and in the framework of a multilevel governance system. Concrete examples of local and regional strategies will be delivered in order to analyse the levers and obstacles for more decentralisation.

  • 5. Professional Skills and Methodology
This module aims to deliver professional and soft skills to equip future professionals of the energy policy at the different levels of governance.

It includes 3 different areas:
- Professional Skills
- Soft Skills
- Job Support Service
