Presentation
The aim of the Master’s program in Biorefinery and Biomaterials (Master’s Degree, One Year Graduate Program) is to train professionals specialising in the problems of biomass valorisation, in particular through the development and improvement of processes allowing its transformation into biomaterials, chemical products or energy sources.
This Master’s program is available to students who have completed at least four years of higher scientific or 1 year of graduate studies (the equivalent of 240 ECTS credits) education in France or abroad. It is a degree course of the Master in Materials Science and Engineering.
Several scholarships are available, in France or depending on the country of origin, to cover all or part of the tuition fees as well as the costs associated with the studies. This program also includes a final-year internship lasting 5-6 months, either in a company or in a laboratory, which pays around €600 a month if it takes place in France.
The training is part of the themes of the Laboratoire d'Excellence Tec21, de l'Institut Carnot Polynat, du CDP Glyco@Alps, de l’IDEX de l’Université Grenoble Alpes, et du pôle de compétitivité Chimie-Environnement Axelera.
