Educational modality
The teaching during the first semester is essentially a series of lectures totalling almost 300 h, although some practical classes are also included. There is a common core of classes for all students and then a set of 5 options, of which the student can choose 3. This choice should be made in the first week of the academic year. Most of the lectures are given at the ISAE. Below you will find the courses and the lecturers as well as the number of hours for each course.

Library
The library is at the OMP. Their are books aimed at masters students, as well as PhD students and other researchers. There are more than 230 books available in the domains of Oceanography, Atmospheric physics and Environmental studies (OAE), Astrophysics, Space Science and Planetology (ASEP) and Earth Sciences/environmental studies (STE). Books can be borrowed for one week and you will need to become a library member to borrow the books.
