Solar Energy Law economics and management
Dania H
France,
Economics, 2022
Overall
I obtained my Master 1 degree in Solar Energy Law, Economics and Management at Savoie Mont Blanc university Chambery, France in the year 2021-2022 and another master 1 degree in Law at the Lebanese University in the year 2019-2021. During the year of 2021-2022 I accomplished lots of topics in the legal and economic perspectives that are related to this internship. In the legal perspective, I was studying about agreements and directives including Paris agreement and other agreements that sets targets to reach for zero GHG emission by year 2050. In the economics perspective related to energy, I was well trained to calculate of the marginal cost and the marginal damage emitted from the usage of energy and how it differs when replacing non-renewable energy to renewable energy. I used different software including STATA to measure the data related to innovation example implementation of solar systems on buildings and the cause of increasing these implementations, and MATLAB program to calculate the change in price dynamics such as change the price of oil, gold. In addition I was studying the value chain of energy usage from exploring the primary energy till selling them as oil, fuel or any other energy, I was also calculating energy use in buildings and how much C02 it is emitting and Urban planning related to PLU France for implementing solar energy systems in buildings and other renewable energies to reach sustainability, SCOT directives for the usage of renewable energy and the targets set for reducing GHG emissions to reach zero net  by year 2050. I also studied lectures in sustainability (analyze its importance to reach the target).

Personal comments
Certainly improved whilst I was out there, but I found it difficult to integrate with the french students. I found myself speaking french with the other foreign students, but by doing this they would not correct my mistakes. Also they continually insisted that I help them learn my language rather than the local.

Overall
Master IEAP : Cours "touchant à tout", assurent une certaine polyvalence allant de l'analyse ergonomique de poste, à l'analyse du geste sportif, à la gestion de projets, en passant par le traitement statistique de données ou encore l'acquisition de la démarche scientifique. Cela permet d'envisager des perspectives professionnelles intéressantes dans divers domaines du monde de l'entreprise (principalement : QSE, R&D)
Comme beaucoup de facultés, fréquence (trop) importante des travaux de groupe favorisant le lissage des notes de tous les étudiants au détriment de la valorisation de leurs savoirs/savoir-faire.
Par contre, certains cours sont très politisés et peu pertinents en Master 2, avec des intervenants externes peu à l'aise avec la notion de pédagogie.
Répartition de la charge de travail au cours de l'année très chaotique, avec des périodes très denses et d'autres totalement vides.
Organisation globale médiocre (RU, parkings) mais la faculté reste de bonne facture avec un cadre exceptionnel.

I wish I had known...
Quite a few things; there are cultural differences to what I'm used to, some things are better (e.g. travel on train & bus), some are worse. Not "different", not "special", just worse, and frankly, they take getting used-to or just ignoring. Maybe these are just minor things, but it's best to 'keep an open mind'.

Final comments
Geneva and Lyon are the nearest major airports, I always got the Easyjet to Geneva, then a train. Chambery's airport is open during the winter skiing season, with flights to some towns in Britain.
