 Master in Biomedicine students must endeavour to become health sector professionals capable of conducting and interpreting scientific projects aimed at improving, diagnosing and treating human diseases. To this end, students will apply themselves to developing the necessary skills and knowledge for the acquisition and robust analysis of biomedical observations and the planning of original research projects in the field of human health.

Through their choice of focus and option, students pursuing the Master in Biomedicine programme will study in depth a specific area of expertise, such as: molecular and cellular psychopathology, cancerology, neuroscience, nutrition, toxicology or clinical research. In the Master’s programme, the emphasis is placed on practical training, through the completion of a research project in a health science laboratory and by means of a work placement in a professional environment, possibly abroad.

The objective of the School of Biomedical Sciences is to produce not only experts in the major areas of biomedical knowledge, but also medical research professionals who will help shape the diagnostic and therapeutic developments of the future.

 



On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1. Use their integrated and evolving knowledge in biomedicine

2. Develop an experimental strategy and conduct biomedical experiments

3. Analyse, review and draw conclusions from biomedical experiments

4. Communicate and present an argument effectively, both verbally and in writing

5. Conduct themselves as professional researchers, equipped to set out on a scientific career

6. If they choose the Research focus: display command of the specific knowledge base and conduct an original research project in a specialist field of biomedicine

7. If they choose the Professional focus in nutrition, conduct themselves as experts in forging a link between nutrition and health, able to adopt a solid scientific and critical approach in the various professional environments concerned

8. If they choose the Professional focus in toxicology: incorporate the multidisciplinary skills required to evaluate and prevent risks to human health caused by chemical

9. If they choose the Professional focus in clinical biomedicine: incorporate the knowledge and skills required to participate in large-scale clinical studies
