Master in Microbiology
The new Master's program has just launched!
From ecology to industrial processes and infectious diseases, microbiology plays an increasingly vital role in every aspect of our society. Bringing together experts from our institution and the Lake Geneva region, this program offers a deep dive into the essential fields of microbiology: environmental, medical, applied, and fundamental. It provides aspiring microbiologists with the opportunity to join a vibrant network of researchers and prepare to tackle the immense challenges of the future. In addition to theoretical courses, seminars, and discussions of scientific articles, participants will benefit from company visits in various microbiology-related sectors, further enriching their training.
Don't hesitate to contact us for more information!
