The BE-ENS course gives students access to all the teaching units of the Molecular and Cellular Biology, Neuroscience and Microbiology Master's tracks, as well as to certain teaching units in Plant Sciences of the BEE Master's programme. These TUs can be fully practical, or be work-study based, alternating between lectures and tutorials. Guided approaches to analysing scientific articles or attending conferences given by specialised researchers may also be proposed. All the disciplines covered in these Master's programmes may therefore be addressed. By acquiring know-how, learning methodologies and putting them into practice in the various TUs, students will be able to build and specialise their profile. The relevant choice of TUs, with a specialisation in one or more subjects, will enable students to apply for several finalities for their 2nd year Master's.
