Presentation
The first year of the IMID master program entitled Molecular and cellular biology is meant to complete the general scientific background of the enrolled students in various fields of biology (cell biology, genetics and biochemistry) during the first semester. The second semester is devoted to introduce the students to their specific master 2nd year's program by offering them specialized courses. For IMID, the students will have at their disposal one UE for Immunology, one for microbiology, and one for Infectious diseases.
During this first year, the students will develop their written and oral skills for the search of internships and/or jobs as well as for the presentation of research projects and experimental results (mandatory modules of 3 ECTS - Communication tools - and 18 ECTS during the semester 7 of the master 1st year's program, 2 months internship during the semester 8).
The second year, first semester comprises 4 specific and integrated UEs that goes from microbiology to infectious diseases, to immunity against cancers and infectious diseases to end with pathology and immunology. During this second year, enrolled students will have the opportunity to further improve their written and oral presentation skills. The semester 10 is fully devoted to an internship..

Further studies
The students graduating from the Immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases (IMID) master program should be able to undertake a PhD research project in the fields of immunology, microbiology and/or infectious diseases. Consecutively to their PhD, the young researchers undertake one or two post-doctoral trainings of 2-3 years each, usually in foreign countries, in order to diversify their expertise.
Study abroad
They can then apply to permanent positions as
- Full time researchers at the national French organizations of research (“CNRS”, “INSERM”, “INRA”, “IRD” etc)
- Project managers in R&D laboratories from private biotech companies
- Part time researchers, part time teachers in French or foreign universities
Sector(s)
Graduating from a master degree in Immunology – microbiology – infectious diseases leads to a career as a research engineer in academic or private laboratories.
