Program Overview

The "Unconventional Water Reuse" program trains engineers to treat, recycle, and recover various non-conventional water sources, such as wastewater , brackish water, or seawater . It addresses the growing need for sustainable water management in the face of resource scarcity. Students develop skills in desalination, industrial wastewater treatment, and water recycling, while addressing current environmental challenges.

Four key research modules are included:


  • Research Methodology Project
  • Deterministic and Stochastic Hydrology
  • Solid Transport and Diphasic Media
  • Turbulence and Mixing.


Teaching Language : French, English

Curriculum Highlights

Core Courses

Core subjects include seawater and brackish water desalination, reuse and recycling of treated wastewater, and industrial water purification.

Additional modules cover water chemistry, hydroinformatics, and high-pressure pumps for desalination. These prepare students to master advanced water treatment techniques.

Advanced Topics

Advanced topics include designing integrated water reuse systems, managing industrial discharges, energy optimization in desalination, and hydroinformatics applications.

Students also study the economic and regulatory aspects of unconventional water reuse.

Internship projects provide hands-on experience with real industrial challenges.

Admissions Information

There are two access paths:

  1. After the baccalaureate, via preparatory classes (Semesters 01 to 04), followed by specialization from the 5th semester.
  2. Direct entry into the 5th semester for those with two years of preparatory studies or a relevant bachelor's degree. Admission is granted upon academic evaluation. Candidates must demonstrate motivation and aptitude for careers in water and environmental engineering. Specific criteria may apply based on academic records.
