OBJECTIVES
Presentation
“Are you looking for a rewarding, professionalising course in biochemistry, molecular biology, chemistry, microbiology and physicochemical analysis processes and methods?
Then this Master’s degree is exactly what you’re looking for!
Thanks to this programme, you will acquire scientific and technical skills in the field of biotechnology, biochemistry and agri-food engineering, complemented by a knowledge of communication tools and business and people management.
You will be able to study the molecules that make up living organisms and products of interest (food, drugs, etc.) and to understand the transformation of these molecules, using your knowledge of enzymatic engineering and/or microbiological engineering. You will master the biotechnological or chemical synthesis of molecules of interest (therapeutic, cosmetic, etc.).
You will also be able to assess the impact of the environment and lifestyles on metabolic changes and health, and to propose alternatives to techniques that do not respect the environment.
After completing this Master’s degree, you will be eligible for management positions at engineer level in laboratories or biotechnology, agri-food and chemical companies.”Stéphanie BORDENAVE-JUCHEREAU
