BIOSCIENCE ENGINEERING
Bioengineers work today to improve
the world of tomorrow
A RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGES OF THE 21ST CENTURY
University-level bioengineering training provides the best tools to take up the main
environmental challenges facing our planet in the 21st century: preservation of
biodiversity, extension of responsible farming and forestry production, natural resources
management, development of renewable energies and biomaterials, high quality food
production, prevention of cancers and other chronic diseases, depollution of industrial
sites.
AN ENGINEER OF THE LIVING WORLD
Bioengineers are engineers with a wide-ranging knowledge of the living world and
the ability to devise production methods and technological processes adapted to the
requirement of the sustainable world. They have the capacity to devise, implement and
manage complex projects, taking account of their human, environmental, economic and
technical dimensions.
SCIENTIFIC VERSATILITY
Versatile scientists who can understand biological, chemical and physical phenomena
as well as economic and social processes, bioengineers are also innovators and
entrepreneurs.
HUMAN VALUES
During their studies, bioengineers learn to work as part of a multidisciplinary team in a
spirit of solidarity and respect for opinions and cultures. They open up to the world and
form their own convictions through their many contacts with professionals in a wide
range of organisations, from local associations to multinational companies.
A WIDE VARIETY OF PROSPECTS
Bioengineering studies grant access to a wide range of jobs in a variety of fields, from
support for farming practices to the design of power stations, from brewing to the
management of tropical forests, from soil depollution to the development of new vaccines,
from the management of epidemiological databases to land-use planning.
HIGH EMPLOYMENT LEVEL
The rate of employment among newly qualified bioengineers exceeds 90% in the year
following the completion of their studies. Most of these jobs are related to bioscience
engineering. Many opportunities to progress and diversify then arise during the
professional careers of bioengineers.
