Overview of the Biology, Biotechnology, and Bio-Industries Engineering Program
EBI trains engineers in biology, biotechnology, and bio-industries, fostering independence, adaptability, and creativity. Focused on the student, the Grande École program is unique and can be customized to suit the student’s entrepreneurial, international, associative and professional needs.
A customized training program
Spanning five years—two years in the preparatory program and three years in the engineering program—the curriculum consists of lectures, tutorials, and hands-on lab work in our state-of-the-art facilities.
During the engineering program, each student freely chooses one of five specialization tracks, known as MAJORS, with no enrollment limits. Students complement their choice with minors to tailor their academic path.
The fifth year can be completed through a professional training contract. Internships complement international experiences and leadership roles in student organizations.
Each EBI student thus builds a unique and versatile profile, enabling them to adapt immediately to the corporate world.
An organization with clear benchmarks
Each separate validation of the courses allows the capitalisation of ECTS credits. A full year represents 60 ECTS. The courses take place over 17 weeks according to the following schedule
- Fundamentals: courses, TD
- Practical: practical work, individual or team projects
- Learning: personal work, exercises, projects, reading…
The training is completed by languages, sports and open education.
Career management throughout your career
As early as the 2nd year of the integrated preparatory biology course, the choice of career is discussed. Visits to industrial sites or laboratories, internships, exchanges with tutors, meetings with our alumni, afterworks, the EBIconnect career forum and the Linkedin network give you a very precise idea of your future career. In the fourth year, the Career Management course helps students finalize their choice of major.
Integrated preparatory cycle
Accessible directly after the Bac, EBI’s preparatory engineering cycle aims to help students acquire autonomy and learn the fundamentals. Here, students take their first steps into higher education and develop study habits that will serve them well throughout their academic careers and even beyond, into their future professional lives.
The preparatory program provides students with all the foundational knowledge needed to enter an engineering program without having to take an entrance exam.
