Via a motivating curriculum, students acquire a broad scientific knowledge, from the molecules within the cells to organisms in their environment and communities. The practical work is gradually more linked to the research labs with the advancement of studies. Most importantly, students also develop an analytical and critical mind as well as the abilities to learn independently, to work in a team and to communicate in multiple languages, so as to more fully convey the importance of biology in our society. Our graduates are well prepared for careers in numerous areas of life sciences.

The Faculty of Biology and Medicine is a unique setup in Europe with an interdisciplinary approach. An understanding of the structural, molecular and genetic mechanisms in living organisms allow us to go straight to the source of it all and studying stem cells in plants, animals and humans. An understanding of all aspects of biological systems, from organization and evolution to adaptation and intra and interspecific communication is also one of our speciality. Most of the research projects are using cutting-edge technology in imaging, genomics and proteomics.

The goal of the Master is to explore life through experimental and computational approaches. With specialized lectures exploring micro-organisms, plants, animals and humans, students can compose their own curriculum of choice: Bioinformatics, Microbiology, Integrative Biology. A practical course allowing students to sequence and analyse the genome of a micro-organism, applying the most recent sequencing and computational techniques is performed. To master oral and written scientific communication, students learn how to write a scientific review and fellowship application.

Bachelor of Science in Management and Economics

Our mission, in part, consists of “using research to train our students to be capable and responsible leaders and entrepreneurs […]”. The competencies we aim to develop are: analytical skills, leadership qualities, international perspective, understanding of profitable and sustainable businesses practices and an entrepreneurial mindset. We engage various teaching methods: lectures, case studies, and seminars, complemented by exercise sessions, hands-on workshops, and project work. Faculty use teaching methods that achieve the best fit between course content, student cohort, and teaching style.

The Master of Science in Information Systems (IS) provides students with cutting-edge skills in new information and communication technologies (NICTs). Our program covers both IS management and engineering, and hence trains professionals capable of designing, managing, implementing and evaluating IT services and applications. The PhD program offers a tailor-made learning journey aiming at the full expression of the candidate’s potential. Particular attention is paid to critical thinking, which is assessed by a dedicated exam. Both programs are strongly practice-oriented.

Our Department of IS runs research combining complementary fields and approaches. As a result, our research covers several fields around IS Management (digital innovation and strategy, project management, architecture and IS evolution), Security (privacy and cybersecurity), Data (data management, data mining and machine learning), Distributed Object Programming, Human Computer Interaction and Neural Science. The multidisciplinary approach stems from the rich composition of the Department, whose research is also strongly connected to the corporate world.

1st semester encompass a block-week of direct contact between students and IT professionals from local companies where students teams resolve challenges proposed by companies. Results are evaluated and awarded by a club of CIO's (called the Digital Circle). This mandatory activity gives several opportunities to students to develop their professional network and to valuate their skills and capabilities for finding further internships opportunities.

The Master of Science in Biogeosciences is the result of the integration of two fields of natural sciences: biology and geology. It reflects the emergence of new fields of research in the many areas of contact between these two disciplines. The objective is to train students in the field of integrated natural sciences or Biogeosciences. It aims, through training based on the most modern techniques, to provide the essential knowledge and tools necessary for the discovery, understanding and management of natural environments in perpetual evolution on scales that are variable in time and space.
