Master
The Graduate School of One Health-Emerging Infectious Diseases (1H-EID) introduces an exciting new Master 1 and Master 2 programme in Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB), tailored to appeal to international students with mobility scholarships and overseas placements.
Centered on Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs), the programme presents an extensive array of enhanced courses, alongside customised placements in premier research labs. This presents a distinctive chance to delve into various facets of research encompassing virology, microbiology, epidemiology, and social sciences.

First-year pathway
In September 2023, a new pathway opened up for both Master 1 and Master 2 within the Molecular and Cellular Biology Master (BMC). Mobility scholarships are available for international students, as well as scholarships for placements abroad as part of this pathway.
In Master 1, the Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) pathway enriches the existing curriculum in molecular biology, cell biology, bioinformatics, virology, and microbiology. It introduces new courses in computational biology, ecology, and “One Health”. Work placements in emerging infectious diseases take place in research labs associated with the Graduate School of One Health-Emerging Infectious Diseases.
For health students, introductory research courses (PIR) are offered in the fields of infectiology or public health, such as “Resistance and adaptation of microorganisms to anti-infectives“, “Evolution: main mechanisms – biological and medical approaches“, and a new pathway “Emerging infectious diseases“.
Second-year pathway
In the Master 2 Molecular and Cellular Biology, Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) pathway, students engage in a core module titled “One Health, an interdisciplinary approach.” They have the option to specialize in one of two majors:
- Biology of Emerging Pathogens
- Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Students can complement their studies by selecting either the other major or one of three available minors:
- Human-Animal-Environment Interface
- Evolutionary Dynamics
- Human and Social Sciences
Additionally, they have the flexibility to choose from a variety of supplementary modules such as “From the Field”, innovation, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, ecology, circulation of infectious agents and risk management, antibiotic resistance, infection modeling, surveillance, or global health, among others.
The Master 2 internships available are highly customised, emphasising a multidisciplinary approach. With two internships, an interface project, an internship, and a supervised project, these offerings leverage the diversity of the top-tier laboratories affiliated with the Graduate School.
This setup offers a distinctive platform for integrating fundamental and translational research across virology, microbiology, epidemiology, modeling, and the social sciences.
