MSc Biotechnology - Biotechnological Engineering and Management in Agro-Industries Track

Identity card

Diplôme national de master contrôlé par l'État

OBJECTIVES

Presentation

“This Master’s degree provides the essential knowledge needed to understand and analyse a wide range of phenomena relating to living organisms.
It covers the scientific and technical fundamentals in the fields of biotechnology, nutrition, health and food processing, but also offers a range of opportunities in other areas of training, such as innovation, management, distribution and equipment.
In addition to scientific and technical courses to ensure a solid general culture, you will need to acquire a good command of English and another foreign language. You will also develop your ability to work in groups and your capacity for commitment and responsibility.
The Biotechnology Engineering and Agro-Industry Management track focuses on quality control and management. Embrace biotechnology!”
