To study
1st year of the Biology Engineering Cycle
The Biology Engineering cycle lasts three years. The course is punctuated by projects, international exposure and interaction with the professional world, and aims to prepare future EBI biology engineers for the fulfilling career that awaits them once they graduate.
Objectives of semesters 5 and 6
The 1st year of the biology engineering cycle is taught in English. They complete the scientific bases and allow students to discover industrial engineering by analyzing applications and unit operations in the school’s four sectors: pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing and the environment. Societal and environmental issues are studied and global problems are addressed.

Semester of study in English
At EBI, the 3rd year programme is taught in English. Globalisation has impacted the business of the fields we specialise in and in order to find new consumers, the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food industries have had to cross trade barriers all over the world. To prepare our future engineers to work efficiently in such a context, our faculty members teach 80 % of the 3rd year course in English.
Internship abroad
The international dimension is an asset for the engineering profession. In addition to a unique human experience, it allows a mastery of foreign languages (2 languages required) and an understanding of global issues. Our students travel the world, particularly during the first year of the engineering cycle, through a compulsory internship in a company or university abroad for at least two months.
In my opinion, the EBI stands out because of its general education in biotechnology, which allows us to understand the many sectors of activity that will be available to us.
