M2 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy
The 2 main objectives are:
• to provide in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of plant biochemical diversity and of the biotechnological tools (genetic modification, synthetic biology, innovative extraction strategies according to green chemistry principles) supporting innovation in the bioeconomy;
• to train students to implement industry-driven approaches for innovation in the bioeconomy.
- implement up-to-date biotechnological tools to improve the knowledge of plant or microbial metabolisms, and to harness them for the development of novel bioprocesses or bio-based products;
- carry out a research project in a multicultural team;
- develop a global and holistic vision of the bioeconomy.
The program comprises 5 mandatory courses, 1 elective course to be chosen among 2 courses, and 1 MSc thesis internship. Teamwork and experimental training are 2 pillars of the pedagogy.
The admission requirements for the M2 BEB 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
• Demonstrated English language proficiency B2 advanced.
The candidates are selected based on their background, academic results, and motivation (alignment between the personal professional project and the M2 BEB program).
- 1 project in a group of 4-5 students carried out throughout the 1st semester, which includes analysis of scientific literature, lab work, interculturality workshops, preparation for the personal professional project, and project management training;
- 1 mandatory intership of 5-6 months.

Application details
- M1 Students applying to Master 2 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy do not apply to the European Master in Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bioeconomy (Bioceb) even though they will share courses with students from Bioceb. At the end of the M2, they will be awarded a Master 2 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy, delivered by the Université Paris-Saclay, operated by AgroParisTech ;
- For student admitted in the European Master in Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bioeconomy (Bioceb): the Master Bioceb is a two-year (M1+M2) programme. There is only one selection procedure for both years of Bioceb. When selected, students are admitted to first year (=M1) and the second year (=M2), that are inseparable – under the condition of passing all the exams from the first year. Students thus cannot be directly admitted to the Bioceb M2 without the interrelated Bioceb M1. More information: http://www.bioceb.eu/
