Microalgae Bioprocess Engineering Master’s Degree (MBE) (Microalgae Bioprocess Engineering Master’s Degree (MBE) )

Introduction

The international Master's Degree Microalgae Bioprocess Engineering is integrated in a two-year program in process and bioprocess engineering, with three academic semesters (lectures in english) and a six-month intership in industry or research laboratory.

Objectives

Skills:

• to develop an industrial process for microalgae valorization
• to be able to conduct a research project on microalgae
• to be able to manage an industrial project related to the microalgae field
• to be familiar with the multidisciplinary approach needed in microalgae field (biology, engineering)

Specificities

Students enroll for a two-semester program (second year of the Master). A total of 60 ECTS must be validated to graduate. For
candidates entering the first year of the Master’s Degree (PM3E, IMT Atlantique), the program will deliver fundamentals in process
