Training description

In a fast-changing world, adaptability, critical thinking, and interdisciplinarity are key. At ESTBB, we train engineers who analyze complex challenges, embrace diverse approaches, and think critically.

With the first year of the Master’s cycle, students build strong prerequisites in biotechnology, allowing them to explore different fields before choosing their specialization in the second year. Options include:

Infectiology
Biotechnology Innovation Management
Bioprocess Engineering
Digital Transformation & E-Health
These pathways open doors to a wide range of careers, from highly scientific roles (R&D, bioprocess, production, industrialization) to management and project-driven positions (quality engineer, product manager, client relations).

Beyond technical expertise, our "Humanities: Science and Society" modules and engagement in international solidarity projects instill a sense of ethics, responsibility, and purpose in every future engineer.
