Tracks — Courses


Learning how to learn

In Rapidly Evolving Fields like Bioinformatics, being at the cutting edge of last technologies is a big challenge

Thinking About Future

Choosing elective courses for designing her/his own professional profile is the key to get a job

Open to the World

Internships are good opportunities to add worldwide experiences.


Introduction


→ The first semester is common for the three tracks and is dedicated to learning programming languages (Python and JavaScript) and algorithmics.
→ The following two semesters — depending on the track chosen — allow a gradual specialization of the professional profile that the student wishes to develop. It can enrich his training with elective courses to choose from either biology or computer lessons offered in other masters.
→ The fourth semester consists of a six-months internship in a company or in an academic institution and may be held abroad.

→ Le premier semestre est commun aux trois parcours et est entièrement dédié à l'apprentissage de la programmation (langages Python et JavaScript) et de l'algorithmique.
→ Les deux semestres suivants — en fonction du parcours choisi — permettent une spécialisation progressive selon le profil professionnel que l'étudiant souhaite développer. Il peut enrichir sa formation avec des unités d'enseignement optionnels à choisir soit parmi des enseignements de biologie ou d'informatique dispensés dans d'autres masters.
→ Le quatrième semestre consiste en un stage en entreprise ou dans un établissement académique de six mois qui peut avoir lieu à l'étranger.

Year #2 — Spring Semester


The spring semester of the second year (semester 10) is dedicated to an internship that has to cover a period range of 6 months in a private company or in an academic laboratory abroad. Over the years, the number of oversea internships have increased due to the appreciation of our students skills.
Also, the development of a network of former students (leading a position today) provides to our current students a wide range of internship opportunities in different fields of applications.

Le second semestre de la seconde année (semestre 10) est dédié à un stage d'une durée de 6 mois. Au fil des années, le nombre de stages réalisés à l'étranger n'a cessé d'augmenter grâce à la reconnaissance des compétences de nos étudiants.
Egalement, les connexions maintenues avec les anciens diplômés (aujourd'hui en poste) permet d'assurer à nos étudiants actuels un large éventail de possibilités de stages dans différents domaines d'applications.
