The M2 in Plant Sciences includes two programmes: the Research programme is entirely taught in English whereas the Professional programme is taught in French.
The Research program aims at training students through research towards strong expertise in plant sciences and the mechanisms used by plants to adapt abiotic and biotic stresses. Graduate students carry on with PhD contracts either in academic laboratories or private companies.
The programme is divided in two parts: the courses (September-December) made of teaching units and training (January-June) consisting in a 6-month internship usually in an academic research laboratory.
At the end of the Research program in Plant Sciences, students will have acquired the following skills : - Explain and use basic concepts in plant genomics and breeding, plant signalling, plant mysiology and metabolism, plant cell biology and plant epigenetics - Identify and select appropriate scientific or technological approaches to address a biological question in plant sciences - Gather and summarise literature on a specific subject in plant sciences - Conceive, plan for and produce a scientific project in plant sciences in a research lab: synthesis of the literature, independent and rigorous organization of lab experiments, analysis of scientific results and reporting (written and oral restitution) - Identify all the tools necessary for successful employment (zcientific network, ...)
