SBIOM240 | Internship in a company or administration in Belgium or abroad | Silvestre Frédéric | 30 |
At the beginning of the training students acquire very specific in-depth knowledge in specialised scientific domains which they can choose from a wide range of available options. From the first year on, students have the privilege of being confronted with the reality of insertion in a research laboratory, thanks to an initiation to research in the first year followed in the second year by a research project and dissertation. This training towards scientific work and research is followed by an internship / work placement in a research institution or firm, in Belgium or abroad.
Aims and objectives are established as follows :
The Master’s degree in Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular biology is designed in such a way that the vast majority of courses are options that students can choose from a structure covering five pathways
During the training, students can choose two « thematic weeks » ( a week of lectures, seminars and practical courses) given in Namur or other Universities from the « Communauté française » (French-speaking community) in Belgium.
The training is completed through a long research project and dissertation, (12 months) carried out in a renowned research laboratory (initiation to research in M1 followed by a research project and dissertation in M2)
The orientation with a focus on specialisation offers students the opportunity of an internship/ work placement within a firm or an administrative entity in Belgium or abroad.
This Master’s degree is organised by the Biology Department within the Science Faculty and the Medecine Faculty, and inserts itself in the strong research networks developed at UNamur
In the majority of cases, students hand in written papers and / or oral presentations on specific topics related to the material covered in courses. The research project and dissertation as well as the internship / work placement are evaluated through a report which is to be written either in French or in English, along with an oral presentation and a public defense before a pre-established jury.
The in-depth focus offers students the opportunity of an internship / work placement in Belgium or abroad, with financial support from the « mobilité internationale » office of the Science Faculty. Unamur mostly takes part in exchange programmes financed by Erasmus scholarships.
