Overview & Missions

The **Life Sciences Program** runs from Bachelor’s to Master’s level, following the LMD system, and trains specialists able to analyze biological mechanisms across scales — from the cell to the ecosystem — mobilizing interdisciplinary approaches in cell and molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, ecology, and biodiversity conservation. The Bachelor’s cycle provides a generalist foundation in biological sciences, while the Master’s cycle, organized into four semesters (S7 to S10) for a total of 180 ECTS credits, enables progressive specialization across three academic and research-oriented tracks.

Program Objectives

  • Acquire, from the Bachelor’s level onward, the fundamentals of biology at different levels of organization (cell, organism, ecosystem);
  • Develop practical skills in observation, experimentation, and biological data analysis;
  • Deepen disciplinary expertise at the Master’s level and master modern methods and tools for analysis, experimentation, and data processing;
  • Develop scientific autonomy, critical thinking, and the ability to lead a research project;
  • Prepare students for professional integration from the Bachelor’s level, as well as for further studies at Master’s and PhD levels;
  • Train professionals able to contribute to health, agriculture, biotechnology, environment, and biodiversity conservation

Career Prospects & Opportunities

  • From the Bachelor’s level: senior laboratory technician, senior environmental technician, research assistant, technical staff in the biological and environmental sectors;
  • After the Master’s: research careers (laboratories, research centers), higher education and secondary teaching, professional roles in companies and NGOs in the biological and environmental sectors, public services;
  • Further studies at PhD level.
