Studying MICROBES is crucial to tackle future challenges to human and animal health (multi-drug and antibiotic resistance; microbiota dysbiosis; emerging microbial pathogens), pollution (bioremediation; green energy) and biotechnology (synthetic microbiology and micro-biotechnology; food microbiology).
Unique in Belgium, the Master in Molecular Microbiology (MMM) provides the opportunity to study the microbial world in the context of basic and applied research, allowing the student to face all these important challenges of the 21st century.
Objectives:
The Master in Molecular Microbiology (MMM) is a research-oriented (120 credits) Masters programme offered entirely in English. The integration of the MMM within a European joint programme in association with Aix-Marseille University and Marburg Phillips-Universität promotes international mobility and provides access to a wide range of scientific expertise at two of the most prestigious European Bacteriology Research Institutes.
Semester 1
The first semester is devoted to general and specialised microbiology courses taught by scientists from academia and from industry who address the essential elements of Molecular Microbiology with a particular emphasis on bacteriology. The student will have the opportunity to use active learning methods such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), inverted classrooms and integrated practical courses. The student will also be offered the possibility to attend local and national scientific conferences.
Semesters 2-4
The last 3 semesters are dedicated to research projects in 2-3 research groups within UNamur and at partner laboratories.
During the second semester, the emphasis is on acquiring (1) skills in writing a CV and a motivation letter and preparing an interview in English and (2) technical skills in Molecular Microbiology and the basics of scientific writing. The focus remains on these skills during the third semester in the context of your thesis, during which you will develop your autonomy and scientific communication.
During the last semester, the student will have the opportunity to carry out a professional internship in industry or in an academic research laboratory abroad.
Lectures during the first semester are organised according to a specific sequence starting with a Microbiology Basics course, which aims to fill potential gaps in students background knowledge. You will then attend core Microbiology courses before beginning topics in Bacteriology. This sequence will gradually bring the focus towards more specialised courses.
Various evaluation methods are used such as multiple-choice tests, oral evaluations, conference reports, analyses and presentations of scientific articles, literature reviews, poster presentations and group presentations.
The integration of the MMM within a European joint programme in association with Aix-Marseille University and Marburg Phillips-Universität promotes international mobility and provides access to a wide range of scientific expertise at two of the most prestigious European Bacteriology Research Institutes.
