Description

Les principaux critères comptables et financiers sont présentés (point mort, délai de récupération, ROI, VAN, TIR, valeur actuelle nette, taux interne de rentabilité, …), en insistant en particulier sur les décisions à prendre en situation d’incertitude. Un éclairage particulier est porté sur les choix d’investissements pour des activités relatives à la Recherche et Développement et plus généralement relatives à l’innovation. Le couplage des outils financiers avec d’autres types de critères de choix quantitatifs et qualitatifs est examiné, notamment dans la perspective de l’élaboration de Business-Plan.

The main accounting and financial criteria are presented (break-even point, payback period, ROI, NPV, IRR, net present value, internal rate of return, etc.), with particular emphasis on the decisions to be made under uncertainty. Particular emphasis is placed on investment choices for activities related to Research and Development and more generally related to innovation. The coupling of financial tools with other types of quantitative and qualitative choice criteria is examined, in particular with a view to drawing up a Business Plan.

A la fin de ce cours, vous serez capable de :

  • choisir les critères d'évaluation pertinents
  • calculer ces critères et connaître leurs limites
  • adapter les modalités de calcul et le degré de précision des informations requises et produites aux spécificités des investissements et à leur contexte
  • adapter/appliquer les outils dans des contextes d'incertitude variées, en particulier dans le cas des projets liées à l'innovation et la R&D
  • choisir les investissements pertinents à la lumière des évaluations
  • présenter les résultats des évaluations à une audience de décideurs
  • to choose the relevant evaluation criteria
  • to calculate these criteria and be aware of their limits
  • to adapt the calculatio n methods and the degree of precision of the information required and of the information produced to the specificities of the investments and their context
  • to adapt/apply the tools in contexts of varying uncertainty, particularly in the case of projects related to innovation and R&D
  • to select relevant investments in light of the evaluations
  • to present the results of evaluations to an audience of decision makers

School regulations

The curriculum includes three years of study: admissions, the organisation of studies, assessments, placements and vivas, graduation and international exchanges are all explained in the current school rules (pdf).

First and second year courses

First and second year courses

  • General modules: mechanics, geology, mathematics, IT, digital analysis, signal processing, inverse methods.
  • Geophysical methods: physics of the Earth, seismology, seismic modelling and imaging, geodesy, gravimetry, potential methods, geomagnetism, electromagnetism, rock physics and fracture, hydrology.
  • Practical work: geophysical measurements in the field (photo) and in the laboratory, geology field placements in the Alps.
  • Languages and economic and social sciences: English, modern language 2, economics, industrial property, management, sustainable development, ethics, quality, company health and safety
  • IT and research projects, shared with the first year of the master’s degree
  • Summer placements at a laboratory or company, with numerous opportunities abroad (international placement contact: Mike Heap)

Third year course

Students have a choice of 3 specialisations in the third year:

  • Geophysics applied to the exploration and production of raw materials: seismic and hydrodynamic characterisation of reservoirs, seismic processing and interpretation, potential methods.
  • Geophysics applied to geotechnics: geotechnics and the resistance of materials applied in civil engineering, geomechanics, hydrogeophysics, electromagnetic methods, earthquake.
  • Hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry, hydrogeophysics (HydroG3).

Additional teaching:

  • Languages and economic and social sciences: English, energy economy, company strategy and structure.
  • Geophysics field camp in Alsace (photo).  Here are images of a normal fault in the Rhine Graben taken by students.
  • 6-month industry placement culminating in the writing of a dissertation and a viva before a jury in order to obtain the engineering degree. The placements are carried out all over the world.
