MasterNanosciences, nanotechnologies

The two-years track in Nano-biotechnologies is accessible to students having a Bachelor in physics, physico-chemistry, or engineering. Direct admission in second year is possible for students having completed 4 years of higher education and having a solid background in engineering sciences as well as a first course in molecular biology or cell biology. The track also welcomes:

• students in the 2^nd year of the European Master EMM Nano+
• students following the UGA Graduate School thematic program Soft-Nano

The first year M1 Soft Matter and Biophysics provides students with a core knowledge in physical sciences, numerical and engineering methods, while elective courses provide a first background in biology. The second-year courses of the M2 Nanobiotechnologies include general biology courses, as well as a number of courses dealing with biosensors and micro-manufacturing techniques or broadband throughput screening and modeling, and data analysis in biology.

In addition to their academic courses, students perform a 2-months Research internship in May and June of their 1^st year, credited 6 ECTS. They can choose to continue this research activity in the 1^st semester of the 2^nd year, by choosing the Research Training elective. Finally the whole 2^nd semester of the M2 is devoted to a Master thesis, prepared during a minimum of 5 months internship in a top-level research team.
