This specialism in Mechanical Engineering aims to provide students with advanced training on the physics, observation and modelling of atmospheric flows. It addresses research and engineering issues in which the dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer plays a key role: wind energy, wind propulsion, urban climate, air quality, etc. In the field of fluid mechanics, flows in the lower atmosphere, turbulent by nature, are distinctive because they result from large-scale meteorology forcing, and dynamic and thermodynamic interactions with the Earth's surface. Numerical modeling approaches for these turbulent flows differ depending on the scale considered and the intended application. The experimental characterization of atmospheric flows, despite recent technological progress, is often complex or incomplete and its limits should be known. Therefore, the courses offered in this programme will provide an emphasis on the physical processes involved in the dynamics of the lower atmosphere, as well as on observation and modelling methods. Courses more specific to applications in the field of energy and urban atmosphere are also offered. The training involves theoretical courses as well as practical applications using numerical software and experimental devices.

One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme. Download your copy of the Scholarship Guide to find out which scholarships from around the world could be available to you, and how to apply for them.
Centrale Nantes' undergraduate degree programmes include two Bachelor's programmes: the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc) and the BBA Data, AI & Management, jointly developed and taught with Audencia. Both programmes are taught 100% in English, and welcome a mixed cohort of French and international students. Both confer a Bachelor's degree, and prepare their students either to pursue Master's studies in France and around the world, or to enter the workforce directly.

Centrale Nantes's Master of Science (MSc) Programmes are all fully accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and give full access to PhD studies in France or abroad. Four of our Master of Science (MSc) programme specialisms offer high-potential students the opportunity to join our Integrated Master-PhD Track. This track draws on the areas of excellence of our research institutes and our existing MSc programmes to bring together two years of Master studies and three years at PhD level.
A limited number of excellence-based partial tuition fee waivers are available for the most promising non-European students accepted into the first-year of an MSc programme at Centrale Nantes. The amounts awarded range from €3,000 to €8,000 per year. Conditions apply.
Centrale Nantes is currently involved in seven Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJMs) - prestigious international study programmes, jointly delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions. The school is the coordinator of four of these programmes (EU-CORE, DREAM, E-PiCo+, JEMARO). EU-funded scholarships are awarded to the best student candidates applying under annual selection rounds.
