Study programme 2014-2015

Teaching and training



 Bachelor in Bioengineering students must undertake to gain a good grounding in order to tackle the training provided in the various Masters organised by the Faculty of Biosciences Engineering.

The objective is to develop into individuals working towards a better reconciliation of human activities and respect for the environment, developing sustainable responses to the major challenges facing our societies today and tomorrow, and improving our quality of life.

The Bachelor programme of study allows students to acquire a broad knowledge base and scientific and technological expertise in the life sciences field, allowing them to understand and conceptualise biological, agricultural and environmental systems.

Through multidisciplinary training, the future bioengineering graduate will develop their training and personal project which they will work on during their Masters programme, and do so with increasing independence.

On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1. To use a body of knowledge (knowledge, methods and techniques, models and processes) in life and human sciences in the fields of agricultural, biological chemical and environmental engineering.

2. To make critical use of a body of "engineering and management knowledge" with expertise in the fields of agricultural, biological, chemical and environmental engineering.

3. To apply an appropriate methodology for research, implementing an analytical scientific and, if applicable, systematic approach in order to consider an original research problem in more depth relevant to agricultural, biological, chemical and environmental engineering, incorporating several disciplines.

4. To formulate and analyse a simple problem in the agricultural, biological, chemical and environmental engineering fields linked with new situations presenting a degree of uncertainty. To be able to develop pertinent, sustainable and innovative solutions through a systematic and multidisciplinary approach.

5. To design and implement a multidisciplinary project, alone and in teams with the stakeholders concerned. This project should take the objectives into account and incorporate scientific, technical, environmental, economic and human factors.

6. To communicate, interact and convince in a professional manner, in French and English (level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages published by the Council of Europe), both verbally and in writing, adapting to their conversational partners and the context.

7. To act with concern for sustainable development challenges, be open to the world and adopt a humanistic outlook.

8. To demonstrate independence and be proactive in acquiring new knowledge and the development of new skills to be able to adapt to changing or uncertain situations and to develop positively. They will develop a professional project and the course encompasses continuing development.
