Train science students, doctors, pharmacists and veterinarians in endocrinology research. The training programme is organised into six theoretical teaching units covering all aspects of endocrinology (reproduction, metabolism, neuroendocrinology, thyroid) following general introductory teaching units on signalling and methodology in endocrinology. It is supplemented by practical training as internship in research laboratories during 6 months.
The first semester is devoted to theoretical lessons and the definition of the project which will be carried out during the internship. The training is organized into 6 theoretical units covering all aspects of Endocrinology (Reproduction, Metabolism, Neuroendocrinology, Thyroid) after a general introductory unit to signaling and a methodology unit in Endocrinology. The student must complete 5 compulsory teaching units and 1 optional teaching unit chosen from 2 teaching units, which are common to the Master 2 Reproduction and Development (Developmental Biology and Endocrinology of Reproduction). The training is supplemented by practical training with an internship in a research structure in Endocrinology and metabolism which takes place in the 2nd semester.

Target Audience and Entry Requirements
This M2 is based on the scientific and health curricula of the M1 Biology-Health. All teaching units are shared in M1 and organized into platforms (lists of teaching units to choose from), grouped into five major scientific fields. The recommended platforms for the M1 Biology - Health are: - Physiology and Physiopathology - Genetics, molecular and cellular biology. For students holding another M1, it is necessary to have validated cell signaling, molecular genetics and Endocrinology molecular and cellular units.
