Further studies
At EBI, each year, 6 to 10% of our graduates continue their studies beyond the engineering cycle in biology. These additional courses, lasting from one to three years, allow them to specialize in various fields, acquire advanced expertise, and strengthen their professional project through high-level internships.
Prepare a doctorate
Les étudiants de l’EBI qui le souhaitent peuvent accéder à des masters de recherche (M2) proposés par les universités, soit en parallèle de leur 5ᵉ année, soit après l’obtention de leur diplôme d’ingénieur en biologie. Ces formations constituent une voie privilégiée vers la recherche et permettent d’intégrer une école doctorale. Ainsi, à l’issue du cycle ingénieur, les diplômés peuvent poursuivre par une thèse de doctorat d’une durée de trois ans. Ce parcours conduit à l’obtention du grade de docteur et ouvre des perspectives de carrière dans la recherche académique comme dans la recherche et développement en entreprise.
Examples of research master’s programs (M2)
- M2 ‘Toxicology – Environment – Health’ – Sorbonne University and AgroParisTech
- M2 ‘Medicines and Other Health Products’, Toxicology track – University Paris Cité (formerly University Paris-Descartes)
Today, 7% of EBI graduates are engineer-doctors. They carry out their activities in the biotechnology, health, environment, and agri-food sectors, within public and private organizations in France and internationally.
