Objectifs pédagogiques de la formation

The Master 1 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy (BEB) is included in the European Master in Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bioeconomy (Bioceb) which was labelled Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) by the European Commission in 2019.

Bioceb is offered by a consortium of five european universities: Institut national des sciences et industries du vivant et de l’environnement (AgroParisTech)/Université Paris Saclay, Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA), Université de Liège (ULiège) - Belgium, Aalto University - Finland, Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) - Estonia.

The joint first semester (S1) at URCA provides a multidisciplinary scientific knowledge base and a shared culture in the field of agro-resources and their conversion through biorefinery processes. The second semester (S2) allows the students to enrich their technical and scientific experience with cross-cutting approaches dealing will value-chain sustainability assessment, with specific focus either on economics (AgroParisTech) or on green chemistry principles (TalTech). The third semester (S3) offers a specialisation in one of the key biotechnology approaches of bioeconomy: biomass engineering (AgroParisTech), bioprocesses (ULiège) and bio-based products (Aalto). The fourth semester (S4) is dedicated to a R&D internship, according to your specialization path and professional plans, leading to a Master’s thesis preparation and defence.

The M1 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy only includes Bioceb students spending the second semester in AgroParisTech. The M1 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy is delivered by the Université Paris Saclay and operated by AgroParisTech.

Bioceb aims at providing top-level and up-to-date education in chemical and biological engineering applied to the design and development of bio-based products and processes. The objective is to provide all students with a solid multidisciplinary scientific background in biology, chemistry and biotetechnology, combined with a good knowledge of bio-based products markets, and value-chain sustainability assessement. Bioceb aims at training student to systemic approaches at different scales, from the biological cell to macroeconomic systems.

The programme is built-up arround three key pedagological pillars: an academic programme (lecture and practice), a green-line multidisciplinary project carried out over the 2 years, and an internship. Bioceb have ambition to favor the graduates insertion in the professional world, through a cross-cutting approach related to innovation, entrepreneurship and dissemination. Thanks to Bioceb modular format, each student is given the opportunity to build-up his/her specific curriculum with a specialization in one major field of biotechnologies, among bioprocesses design and up-scaling, biomass engineering and valorisation, bioproducts design and production. In this context, the objectives of the M1 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy is to provide knowledge on agro-resources and biorefinery combined with skills in value chain sustainability assessment and economics.

The Master Bioceb is an two year EMJMD (M1+M2). Consequently, the students applying for the M1, engage themselves to follow the M2. This Master comprises the track "Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy" (BEB) of the University Paris-Saclay national Master BIP. The admission requirements for Bioceb are the following :

  • BSc degree or equivalent degree of at least 180 ECTS in Engineering or Science including a strong background in at least one discipline related to Biology : Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biophysics, Bioprocess engineering, Molecular biology
  • Preferred but non-mandatory : a complementary background in Chemistry, Physics or Environmental sciences
  • Demonstrated English language proficiency - B2 advanced.

The candidates are selected according the excellence of their background and academic results as well as their motivation (professional project).

The M2 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy is open to non-Bioceb students.
