M1 Biologie Agrosciences Sciences du végétal/Plant Sciences
The M1 Biologie Agrosciences Sciences du végétal/Plant Sciences aims to provide students with in-depth knowledge of how plants function and how they adapt to their environment in order to meet current needs for innovation in plant production. To train the scientists who will meet the new challenges of developing sustainable agriculture, the M1 Biologie Agrosciences Sciences du végétal/Plant Sciences is based on integrated, interdisciplinary and multi-scale training in plant biology. It benefits from the expertise of a network of 'Saclay Plant Sciences' research laboratories, providing training through research that is unique in the Île-de-France region.

The programme is divided into two semesters and comprises four non-compensable blocks: the core curriculum block BCC1- Integrative foundations and methods for animal and plant sciences (17 ECTS); the two Plant Sciences blocks BCC2 and BCC3- Plant sciences 1&2: Specialised knowledge and innovative methods for sustainability (16 and 19 ECTS) with compulsory or optional teaching units (six optional sequences); the block dedicated to the compulsory 8-week teaching unit internship BCC4- Implementing a plant science research and innovation project in a professional context (8 ECTS). The Plant Sciences programme offers the option of a full M1 programme in English.
Le débouché en continuité directe avec la formation des étudiants ayant suivi le M1 BIP végétale est le M2 BIP Sciences du végétal, proposant deux parcours, recherche et professionnel. Les étudiants, grâce aux connaissances et compétences acquises durant leur M1, pourront également postuler à tout M2 comportant une composante végétale forte. Il existe également des possibilités de poursuite de formation en M2 dédiée aux domaines de la bioinformatique et/ou du haut débit pour la biologie.
