Master's students conduct research within the legal clinic, which is integrated into the degree. This provides clinical students with the opportunity to conduct collective research projects. These supervised projects aim to have students work within a collective research structure, similar to a research laboratory, by organizing events or writing scientific articles for publication in legal journals.
The Master 2 aims to give students the methodological and disciplinary skills essential for practicing professions in the health system and the pharmaceutical industry, and those linked to medical research, particularly in the field of biotechnologies, its financing and the valorization of its results.
