M1 - First year Masters
During the first year of the Master's programme, students themselves define the units that make up their learning contract. They are assisted by a member of the BMC teaching staff who, after discussion with the student, validates the M1 teaching contract. The organisation of the M1 programme, the way certain courses are run, recommendations for the choice of courses and the search for work placements are presented at the first day of the academic year.
First half-year (H1)
S1 is based on a common core comprising :
- two fundamental interdisciplinary teaching units (6 ECTS each) to be chosen from the five on offer (see list of teaching units),
- a practical workshop (MU4BM001, 12 ECTS) lasting four weeks,
- a bio-statistics course (MU4BM009, 3 ECTS),
- an English language course (MU4LVAN1, 3 ECTS) enabling students to take the CLES European certification.

The second semester (S2)
S2 includes:
- the professional integration course, which is the only compulsory course. Please note that the courses in this UE take place during the first semester, although the credits (ECTS) count towards the validation of the 30 ECTS for the second semester;
- introductory UEs, which should enable students to apply for a minimum of two M2 courses, provided they have passed at least 12 ECTS recognised by each course envisaged.
In addition to the 12 ECTS related to the subject pathway, the choice of other UE is completely free among the UE of the BMC major (see list of UE) and in the offer of the other master's majors of Sorbonne University (UE d'ouverture) within the limits of compatibility with the teaching calendar.
It is possible to do a work placement in France (9 ECTS) or abroad (15 ECTS) in public or private sector laboratories or companies.
It is also possible to spend an entire semester abroad, subject to the agreement of the member of teaching staff responsible for international mobility.
The choice of educational contract can be made according to the four proposals presented below:
List of teaching units (TU) in M1
One of the 6 ECTS units in the second semester may be chosen from the entire range of courses offered in the various master's programmes at Sorbonne University and its partners, in consultation with and approved by a member of the BMC teaching staff.
UE in languages, including French as a foreign language (FLE), may be considered (more information).
For all EU courses, course materials are in French and/or English. For some modules, the language of instruction may be English (see module description and course timetable).
