Master Program in Microbiology (MICROBIO)

The Master program in Microbiology (MICROBIO) is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concepts and methodologies in microbiology, as well as the latest advances in the field. The program is divided into two specializations: Microbiologie Molťculaire (MM) and Biotechnologie et Diagnostic des Microorganismes (BDM).

Presentation of the Formation

The program aims to deliver a research-based education that enables students to understand the complex processes of microorganisms and their interactions with the environment. The teaching is provided over two years, with a progressive orientation towards the two specializations. The program allows students to develop their professional project and acquire in-depth skills for the development and implementation of innovative methods in the study, identification, and modification of microorganisms or microbial ecosystems.
