Additional courses (preparatory module) to the master course

To access  this Master, students must have a good command of certain subjects. If this is not the case, in the first annual block of their Masters programme, students must take supplementary classes chosen by the faculty to satisfy course prerequisites.


In some cases, a complementary program (maximum 60 ECTS) consisting of courses from the bachelor in biology will be required, in coordination with the Academic Advisor, and based on the student’s previous background and training.
