OBJECTIVES

Presentation

“Would you like to learn more about the organisation, functioning and conservation of living organisms, both animal and plant?
Do you want to understand how biotic, abiotic or environmental factors can modify the functioning of continental or marine ecosystems at different levels and over different time scales?
Then the Life Sciences degree can provide you with some answers. After completing this course, you will have acquired an integrated vision of the different scales of life, from the molecule to the biosphere. You will also have had the opportunity to learn how to develop and implement coherent scientific approaches, and you will master the main tools for collecting and analysing data.

This degree will give you access to Masters courses in various areas of the Life Sciences, and will also prepare you for technical and/or administrative careers in the fields of biological sciences and the environment.”
