International Master in Life Sciences
Launched in 2022, the International Master in Life Sciences (Master “Sciences du Vivant“) at Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University is an innovative program in cell and molecular biology that emphasizes transdisciplinary approaches to train the next generation of researchers through research-driven learning.
Entirely taught in English, the program aims to welcome at least half of its students from international backgrounds. It is supported by a global network of scientists from some of the world’s most prestigious research institutions, who contribute to both teaching and hosting student internships.
The International Master in Life Sciences program comprises M1 “Sciences du Vivant” (Year 1) and M2 “Frontiers in Biology” (Year 2).
