Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• In the field of biological sciences and particularly in the field of the biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, possess highly specialised and integrated knowledge and a wide range of skills adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in biological sciences.
• Conduct extensive research and development projects related to biological sciences, in biochemistry and in molecular and cell biology.
• Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to help lead and complete a project.
• Contributing to a project by mastering its complexity and taking into account the objectives, allocated resources and constraints that characterise it.
• Show initiative and be able to work independently and in teams.
• Manage and lead research, development and innovation projects.
• Understand unprecedented problems in biological sciences, and more specifically in biochemistry and molecular and cell biology and its applications.
• Organise and lead a research, development or innovation project to completion.
• Methodically research valid scientific information, critically analyse, propose and argue potentially innovative solutions to targeted problems.
• Master communication techniques.
• Communicate, both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
• Adapt their communication to a variety of audiences.
• Master the techniques of written and oral scientific communication in both French and English.
• Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
• Aquire new knowledge independently.
• Pursue further training and develop new skills independently.
