GREEN Graduate program "Mechanics and Physics in Porous Media (MPPM)"
Presentation
Presentation
Understanding the mechanics, the physics and their couplings appearing in fluid-filled porous media is a keystone for solving forthcoming challenges in Energy and Environment. Indeed, porous media are ubiquitous in many natural and industrial systems of interest in various fields of engineering such as: Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Material Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, or Food Industry, to mention only a few.
The MPPM course focuses on the Mechanics and Physics in Porous Media. It encompasses their experimental characterisation by indirect porosimetry and direct imaging, poromechanical behaviour modelling, transport properties estimation, fluid-solid couplings and the properties of confined fluids in porous media.
This international master’s degree offers multidisciplinary key courses to achieve an advanced specialist level in all areas involving porous media such as geomechanics or physics of porous materials. It is suited for students planning both an academic or an industrial career and provides the theoretical basis and the practical expertise required to pursue in research, in R&D structures or in companies.
Objectives
- Prepare students at an advanced specialized level to meet present and future challenges in (geo)mechanics or physics of porous media,
- Develop engineering research skills to engage in quality and successful research,
- Prepare students for leading positions in industry and government Research and Development departments.
Knowledge and skills
At the end of this program, the students in the Master of Mechanics and Physics in Porous Media will be able to:
- Justify a solid expertise in mechanics or physics of porous materials,
- Design and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data,•
- Review, analyze, and interpret the body of scientific literature, contemporary issues and innovations in physics and mechanics area,
- Plan and define a research or R&D project to understand a physical phenomenon pertaining to mechanics or physics of porous media.

Graduate Program Green - Mechanics and physics in porous media
In 2022-2023, the UPPA is opening a 5-year integrated Master’s/PhD program which provides research-intensive training in multiple fields, called the Graduate Program GREEN (GRaduate school for Energetic and Environmental iNnovation). Several courses of study taught entirely in English are part of this program. The Graduate Program GREEN is open to high-potential students from a variety of scientific backgrounds who have completed their undergraduate training with highest honors. To be selected, candidates must explicitly indicate in their letters of motivation their desire to integrate the Graduate Program GREEN, providing reasons for why they wish to participate in this research-focused PhD-Track.
English Language Requirements
Applicants must be fluent in English, both in writing and speaking. An applicant whose native language is not English has to take a recognized international English test.
Minimum required score: CECRL B2 level in English
Inscription modalities
Expenses
Tuition fees for enrolment in this Master have been set as follows:
European student: 256€/year
Extra-European student: 640€/year
Extra fees:
In addition to academic tuition, most students must pay a student body fee (CVEC, which cost €92 in 2020-2021).
NB: Admitted candidates in any course of study who have taken a break of more than two years from their studies will enroll via the UPPA’s Continuing Education service (Formation Continue / FORCO). They are exempt from the CVEC, however they may be subject to a different tuition scale.
