Living matter is characterized by a high level of complexity due to its multiscale & dynamic organization. The Master of Science and Technology in Complex Systems Engineering (MScT CSE) in Biomedical engineering addresses such complexity of life and of major future challenges.

An inspiring international research environment with 4 active Nobel Prize laureates in chemistry, prepares you to use chemical complexity as a tool to lead innovation in academia and industry. The graduate school in Complex Systems Chemistry offers an integrated Master and PhD program in a cosmopolitan environment in the heart of Europe, with over 15 different nationalities sharing a common goal: mastering complexity to innovate. This Master program offers 8 months of courses - covering frontier aspects of modern chemistry - and 14 months of research-based internships in three laboratories. This structure allows you to reinforce your core chemistry background, expand it, and tailor the program to your interests in domains central to our society: functional materials, energy, green chemistry, sustainable development, and health. Your formation is complemented by transferable skills courses, covering topics that range from career development to entrepreneurship. During this two-year Master in chemistry in France, you will be supported by a scholarship; after completing the Master, successful students have direct access to PhD programs and funding in Strasbourg (France), a chemistry hot spot. Complexity made simple!

The first year of a science and technology licence is a year of integration and orientation where students have a multi-disciplinary choice of courses

As countries attempt to materialize or remain at the forefront of the global Space Tech wave, still in 2023, plenty of new Aerospace companies, business units, startups, and programs emerge or blossom each year. They also strive to embody the Sustainability shift at play in (and necessary to) all layers of Society and Economy. If Space is a Blue Ocean system for business, it is also a capital part of our Planet's Ecosystem and needs our constant and devoted attention to its balance and health in the future.

The Master of Science (MSc) CPCM "Chemistry and Physico-Chemistry of Materials" provides a complete education program in the field of materials, by addressing all aspects related to their synthesis/elaboration, their fine characterization, and their implementation for specific applications. In the title of this master's program, the term "Chemistry" refers to synthesis and elaboration aspects, while the term "Physico-Chemistry" refers to characterization science and understanding of mechanisms and phenomena taking place at different scales of the material (micro/nano or surface/bulk). The training delivered by Master CPCM allows you to find rapidly a job in the industry as a senior executive, in all sectors of activity using or designing materials, as soon as you have obtained the Master's degree. Alternatively, you can continue your training with a Ph.D. thesis (three years), which is an advantage in several fields of research and development.

The bachelor’s degree in physics offers general teaching in physics in terms of its theoretical and experimental aspects.

The Physics Master’s program is designed for students who want to obtain high-level training in experimental and theoretical physics, paving the way to enter a Ph.D. program or build a career in industry. You may follow 2-year tracks in High Energy Physics or in Physics by Research. Otherwise, you are offered the possibility to attend a first multidisciplinary year in Physics with 4 majors that enable you to choose among 6 second-year specializations: - International Center for Fundamental physics - Large Facilities - Quantum, Light, Materials and Nanosciences - Materials Science and Nano-Objects - Physics of plasmas and fusion - Quantum Devices

Consolidate and diversity students’ scientific culture while reinforcing their general culture.

The international Master in Light Sciences and Technologies is part of the University of Bordeaux Graduate Research School. The program focuses on knowledge and innovation in light sciences and technologies and provides a multidisciplinary environment for first-class research and education.

The Nuclear Energy Master’s is a high-level international program built in partnership with the most elite engineering schools, whose objective is to provide top foreign and French students with the main knowledge necessary for the nuclear industry producing low‐carbon electricity. The program targets current and future needs of the nuclear industry: optimizing the performance of existing nuclear reactors, designing third-generation nuclear installations (reactors and factories for fuel cycle), develop new fourth-generation processes and systems, operate installations, manage waste and decommissioning.

This Master develops fundamental scientific, technical and industrial knowledge of the different nuclear technologies used in the medical field. It has a particular focus on the safety and radioprotection, to be considered in the management of a large project in this field.

Ph.D. track is a five-year integrated Master and Ph.D. Program aimed at high-potential undergraduate students who know from the Master’s level that they wish to commit to a scientific Ph.D. Ph.D. The track offers students a selective and personalized curriculum, training periods at laboratories, and the opportunity to focus gradually on their thesis subject. This pathway provides a springboard for tackling future scientific challenges in research and development centers of companies and major universities. Students can choose from a wide range of research fields such as Computer Science; Data & Artificial Intelligence; Advanced Materials; Life sciences; Chemistry & Interfaces; Electrical Engineering; Physics; Mathematics, Mechanics, etc.
