Majors and study program

Overview of Master 1 year

Semester 1 (S1, 30 ECTS, September to January) :

For completion of the first semester, lecture courses totalling 30 ECTS are to be chosen in the list above. Courses are organised by major fields, but students can also combine them in a more personal fashion that suits their scientific interests. Specific combinations of coursework can be suggested by faculty, for instance to best prepare for the Master 2 curricula, or to best further the student’s individual objectives. In any case, the selection of courses needs to be agreed by the tutor or a teaching staff member at the beginning of the year.
Additionally, M1 students must take one 6-ECTS English course from ECLA. This course is usually taken during the first semester.

Additional courses may be taken on top of the required 30 ECTS. The curriculum can also include courses in physics, mathematics and other fields, to build transdisciplinary training profiles.

Internship

Semester 2 (S2, 30 ECTS, February to end of June) :

Students enroll in a 4 to 5-month research internship in france or abroad.
Alternatively, they can enroll in a 3-month internship (in France only), to be completed with courses amounting to six ECTS.
To validate their internship, students submit a written report and defend their results in front of a jury.
