Faculty of natural and life sciences

Master in Biotechnology and Valorization of Plants

Formation's goal

Career opportunities

Access to training leading to the Specialized Master's degree in Biotechnology
and valorization of plants is open to holders of:

  •  degree in plant biotechnology and improvement (basic degree from the
    speciality)
  • Plant biology and physiology
  • Diet, nutrition and pathology
  • Food biotechnology
  • Microbial biotechnology

This specialized academic training would allow the availability of senior executives with a profile in biotechnology with the aim of developing plant resources. The proposed training is oriented towards the acquisition of knowledge that can meet the needs of the scientific, socio-economic and environmental sectors.
In terms of professional integration, the skills targeted are to train:
– Scientific executives capable of developing dynamic research that can
understand the biological, physiological, chemical and biochemical mechanisms
in games and their interactions allowing the development of plants and the optimization of
yields and product quality;
– Scientific frameworks on methods to enhance plants and their
products in the food industry (preservatives, adjuvants, condiments,
aromatics, etc.), pharmacological (medicinal properties of plants, properties
toxicological, formulation, etc.), perfumery (volatile essences for perfumery),
cosmetics (wellness products, etc.) and environmental (organic pesticide products,
toilets…);
– Managers: business management, project management;
– Experts: Project expertise, integration into technology parks and Institutes
Interprofessionals.
