Master research projects

Driven by training through research, HealthTech's international Master-PhD graduate program relies on a close link with our research axes. Young researchers will thus be taken on board in a research process from the beginning of the Master's degree.

Training through research with Master projects

Our training program includes a significant amount of time in research institutes, taking the student on board in a research process from the beginning of the Master's degree, with the perspective of a doctoral project. During the fall semester, HealthTech fellows will be involved in their research project at least one day a week. In addition, they will benefit from “initiation to research” courses as well as an introduction to creativity and innovation methods. During the spring semester, fellows will be immersed full time in a research laboratory to pursue their end-of-studies internship.
