Presentation
The MESC2A specialization of the Life Sciences Master's degree is aimed at students with initial scientific training in biotechnology, biology, physiology, genetics, biochemistry and, more generally, in fields related to life sciences.
Its aim is to acquire additional management skills to facilitate professional integration and/or subsequent career development, enabling graduates to apply for positions requiring both expertise in a scientific field and general knowledge of corporate management tools.
