The aim of the Master’s program in Biorefinery & Biomaterials (Master’s Degree, One Year Graduate Program) is to train professionals specialising in the problems of biomass valorisation, in particular through the development and improvement of processes allowing its transformation into biomaterials, chemical products or energy sources.
This Master’s program is available to students who have completed at least 4 years of higher education or 1 year of graduate studies (the equivalent of 240 ECTS credits), in France or abroad. It is a degree course of the Master in Materials Science and Engineering.
Several scholarships are available, in France or depending on the country of origin, to cover all or part of the tuition fees as well as the costs associated with the studies. This program also includes a final-year internship lasting 5-6 months, either in a company or in a laboratory, which pays around €600 a month if it takes place in France.
At the end of this Master’s program in Biorefinery & Biomaterials, forthcoming specialists will be able to implement biomass transformation processes and provide solutions that contribute to reducing the use of fossil resources, to intensifying recycling operations and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
In particular, they will develop skills related to:
These skills are particularly needed today by companies and international organisations in the textile, plastics, packaging, energy, food and pharmaceutical sectors.
With the Master Biorefinery & Biomaterials, graduates will be fully able to meet the new challenges, especially environmental, of the 21st century.
With its international dimension, all courses are taught in English. With students from a wide range of backgrounds and origins, this Master’s program offers an unprecedented opportunity to meet people from different cultures and thus develop the ability to work and manage projects in an international context.
Within this unique Master’s program in France, the main topics covered are:
This master’s degree is available to students who have completed at least 4 years of higher education or 1 year of graduate studies (the equivalent of 240 ECTS credits) in France or abroad. It is a degree course of the Master in Materials Science and Engineering.
