The Master's program in Biomedical Sciences aims to prepare graduates with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences, or equivalent qualifications, for careers in the healthcare industry, particularly in drug and medical device development. It also opens doors to opportunities in the agri-food and biotechnology sectors. This bilingual (English/French) scientific program can be followed by a doctoral degree.

The first year of the Master's program includes theoretical and practical courses taught by university professors and industry professionals. The scientific curriculum is complemented by concepts in business strategy, ethics, pharmaceutical law, and scientific communication. Students thus acquire a comprehensive understanding of the industry and the necessary skills to integrate into multidisciplinary teams.

The second year of the Master's program is dedicated to two full-time practical internships in a professional setting, which can be completed in Switzerland or abroad:

• a research project carried out within a public or private laboratory
• an internship in a company, industry, or institute

Languages of instruction: French and English | Duration of studies: 2 years (4 semesters)
