Enroll in a forward-looking program: prepare for a career as a biotechnology laboratory technician with a professional bachelor's degree focused on innovation and cutting-edge technologies in an environment of excellence, with extensive professional immersion and personalized support.
The Professional Bachelor's Degree prepares students for careers as senior laboratory technicians and assistant engineers in the dynamic biotechnology sectors: health, pharmaceuticals, agri-food, and environment. The goal? Rapid and successful entry into the workforce, thanks to practical, targeted training in line with the needs of companies and laboratories in the sector.
Students with a clear career plan can also consider continuing their studies in a Master's program or engineering school.
In their third year (LP3), students become apprentices. They strengthen a solid foundation of knowledge in biology/biotechnology while developing their professional skills at university and in the laboratory as part of their apprenticeship contract. Each student receives personalized support, promoting their success.
Information
Skills
Upon completion of the course, graduates will be able to:
Competency 1: Design an experiment as part of a scientific approach to biotechnology. Graduates will have learnt how to utilise living organisms or their components in research, development, bioproduction and quality control.
Competency 2: Carry out an experiment and interpret the results. Graduates will be able to:
• master good laboratory practice
• implement a protocol
• collect, organise and validate experimental data
• analyse experimental results using basic statistical methods
• interpret results, suggest improvements where necessary, and situate their results within the context of previous and future work
Competency 3: Operate in a professional environment. The graduate will have developed personal and professional skills and will be able to
• successfully enter the workforce
• understand the diversity of the professional world
• find their place within the host organisation
• understand the rights and responsibilities of employees
• organise their work both within a team and independently, taking constraints into account
• communicate appropriately with their colleagues, using a variety of media
Objectives
The objective is to train students for the professions of assistant engineer and senior laboratory technician, in different sectors of biology. To fulfill their missions, graduates must have acquired solid knowledge in the fundamental disciplines of biology. In addition, cross-disciplinary courses must allow them to integrate the world of work in the best conditions. In continuity with the first year of the Professional Bachelor’s degree, in LP2, students will follow courses in fundamental and applied biology, bio-production and quality control, supplemented by courses in chemistry applied to biology in order to acquire a solid training for the third year (LP3). The cross-disciplinary courses (english, scientific methodology, statistics, oral and written communications, knowledge of business and bio-industries) will give the student the opportunity to build and refine their personal and professional project (PPP). The long apprenticeship period (8 months) will also allow the student to acquire professional experience and skills which will facilitate their continuation in LP3 and their professional integration.
