JUNIA is a French engineering school born from the merger of three prestigious schools, namely ISA (Higher Institute of Agriculture), ISEN (Higher Institute of Electronics and Digital Technology) and HEI (Higher Studies in Engineering).
This merger has made it possible to combine the expertise and know-how of each of the schools to offer a more comprehensive and multidisciplinary engineering education, focused on ecological, digital and technological transitions. JUNIA students thus benefit from a wide range of specializations ranging from agricultural sciences to digital engineering, renewable energies, smart and resilient cities, and many other fields.
JUNIA is a French engineering school focused on ecological, digital and technological transitions, where students and teaching staff tackle the great challenges of today and tomorrow.
From food science to AI, through smart agriculture and renewable energy, as well as smart and resilient cities and environmental sciences, the wide range of specializations offered in our Master's programs in Science and Engineering is designed to meet the multidimensional challenges of our future.
The MSc Smart and Resilient Cities at Junia in Lille is a unique program that prepares engineers, architects, and urban planners to integrate technological, social, and environmental factors into urban design.
The program focuses on energy usage, efficiency, new technologies, and environmental planning to create resilient and sustainable cities. It offers students the opportunity to work on complex, multidisciplinary projects and to think beyond just the design itself, but also about the world they are designing for.
The MSc Smart and Resilient Cities is entirely in English, making it an ideal choice for international students looking to acquire the skills and competencies needed to succeed in the ever-changing world of urban design.
Creativity and collaboration are your new normal
Today a single discipline cannot meet all the emerging technical, social and economic needs of a city. Therefore, Smart & Resilient Cities require the combination of multiple skills from a variety of stakeholders, who must learn to cooperate and work together. New collaborative and innovative working methods and spaces are employed in order to confront the reality of smart cities.
Test your abilities in context
The program includes completion of a full-time team project and professional internships with a company or laboratory in France or abroad.
Submit real proposals from year one
Studio workshops are proposed on a real site with the associated actors (1 studio/year). The students will propose and design eco-districts and buildings, taking into account environmental issues, integration and context (social, economic, landscape), and architectural quality in a broad sense.
Broaden your view of the world
Students will participate in an intensive international learning trip to discover innovative ecosystems in cities such as Montreal, Barcelona, Nice… From its’ ideal location at the heart of European the Smart & Resilient Cities Program will integrate exploration trips from Lille to other European cities.
Cities are constantly evolving and adapting to new paradigms, including technological, social, and economic changes. The Smart & Resilient Cities program recognizes the need for designers and engineers to integrate these factors when developing urban areas.
This master's degree focuses on integrating energy usage, efficiency, new technologies, and environmental planning into urban design.
The program prepares students to work on complex, multidisciplinary projects and to think about the world they are designing for, not just what they are designing.
The Smart & Resilient Cities program is entirely in English, providing international students with the skills and competencies needed to succeed in our ever-changing world.
