The significant advances in the control of reproduction, along with the importance of fundamental, applied, and medical issues in the fields of reproduction and development, make these two disciplines central to everyone’s life. The ReproDev program offers a multidisciplinary education that encompasses all levels of study, from molecules to phenotypes, within the context of normal, disrupted, or pathological mechanisms. It is training through research and for research.
The first semester is dedicated to theoretical instruction, organized across November and December. A total of 10 teaching units (UEs) are offered. Each UE is worth 3 ECTS credits, and includes 24 hours of lectures and conferences and 6 hours of seminar sessions (except UE1). One seminar project is worth 6 ECTS. Students must complete 6 UEs:
- UE1 is mandatory
- 3 UEs must be selected from the ReproDev course list
- The remaining 2 UEs can be chosen either from:
- ReproDev offerings,
- Other tracks of the BIP Master’s program,
- Or another Master’s program (with approval from the track coordinator)
Information
Objectives
To meet research needs in Reproduction and Development, we offer a programme derived from and supporting research in this field. The second year of our Master’s degree aims to train students in the concepts, methods, and practices of fundamental, clinical and applied research.It pursues several goals:
- acquiring modern concepts and multidisciplinary methods of research in Biology and specifically in Reproduction & Development;
- developing critical skills, common sense and intuition;
- developing skills in analysis and synthesis;
- developing teamwork skills and a sense of collective responsibility;
- developing communication and oral skills.This programme is based on the science and health courses of the Master 1 Biology-Health degree. All courses are pooled in Master 1 and organised into platforms (course options), grouped into five main science fields. The recommended platforms in Master 1 are:
- physiology and physiopathology;
- genetics, molecular and cellular biology.
