Master in Integrative Biology and Physiology

This version of the Master's page in English is exclusively for foreign students wishing to enrol in the master's programme.
French students must follow the procedure on the BIP master's page in French.

The objective of the Master is to train high-level specialists in the most recent concepts of integrative biology. The master trains students to understand the mechanisms underlying the various physiological and pathological functions from the cell to the body, in animals or humans. Beyond scientific knowledge, it allows the acquisition of transversal, conceptual and methodological skills, necessary for professional integration and / or the pursuit of doctoral studies.

This Master's programme comprises 6 national and 4 international tracks. The choice of track is made at the end of the first semester of the first year (M1S1).

In this document produced by the Master's programme, you will find all the information you need to settle in and make sure your academic year goes well.
The main purpose of this document is to provide you with information to help you with administrative and other procedures.

For further assistance, international students can consult the welcome desk website.

The figures on professional integration provided by Insersup (Ministry of Higher Education and Research) on MM concern only: salaried employment in France of graduates of French nationality, aged under 30 at the time of graduation and who have never interrupted their studies for more than two years between the baccalauréat and the master's degree or professional licence for which they are being surveyed.
The following are therefore not taken into account: employees abroad, self-employed workers (auto-entrepreneurs, self-employed, liberal professions), inactive people (sabbatical year, civic service, continuing studies, etc.), employees over 30.

Students enter the job market after completing M2, continuing their studies in a doctoral programme or continuing their studies to acquire dual skills.

The main sectors in which our graduates are recruited are the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and agri-food industries, commerce, regulatory agencies, human health and social action, specialised scientific and technical activities, service activities, local authorities, research and teaching.
