International Master 1 "Microbial and Plant Systems Biology" (MPSB)
Program

Program : 2024/2025 academic year will begin on Friday 20 September 2024 and end on 20 June 2025.

The pluridisciplinary Master 1 PMB programme is composed of two semesters of study divided into 4 parts for a total of 60 ECTS. It is part of so-called "active" teaching practices, by favouring the dynamic participation of students and encouraging tutoring.

Part 1: Fundamentals in Biology and Statistics (8 ECTS)

During the first part of the program, students will take fundamentals courses in Biology and Statistics in order to follow a refresher course  in fundamentals concepts of plant physiology, symbiosis and pathogenicity, basic genetics, genome editing and intermediate statistics.

Part 2: Systems and Synthetic Biology (22 ECTS)

A set of courses that address key concepts and challenges in basic fields of Systems and Synthetics Biology applied to Microbial and Plant Sciences.

Part 3: Specialty courses (12 ECTS)

Part 4: Training by research (18 ECTS)

Lab

The most important part of the programme which is based on training through research embedded in the laboratories alongside our research teams.

By choosing their host laboratories within our Paris-Saclay University network, or internationally, students will be able to build their own research career and can develop individual research trajectories.

     Lab rotations

During the second semester, students have the possibility of performing laboratory rotations for a period of 3 weeks in lab partners.

    Research project and lab intership

During the second semester, students will be tutored in a teaching unit leading to the conception of a research project that will be undertaken during an 8-week internship in a host scientific laboratory. This training provides students with an ideal opportunity to prepare for a career in research (in both academic and private settings).
