This Master's degree aims to train future professionals in cancer research and engineering.The Biology of Cancer (BC) track enables students to develop skills in the biological mechanisms of cancer. The IT track enables students to develop skills in clinical research and animal oncology. And finally, the 3.0 track enables students to develop skills in the ethical analysis and management of digital patient data.

Cities and Urban Environments (VEU) – Altervilles is a two-year undifferentiated Master's program ("professional" and "research" specialty training), which aims to train professionals in general urban policies and strategies, who will then specialize in urban policy-making, project management, decision-making support, forecasting, evaluating and participation, as well as urban studies and research.

Students are trained in earth sciences with special focuses on experiments, fieldwork, paleontology, sedimentology, tectonics, geophysics, geochemistry and numerical modelling.

This demanding general training program enables students to enter the job market at the end of their Master's degree in positions that utilize their solid foundations developed in quantitative economics (economic research departments in public or private and international or French institutions and regional authorities), as well as to successfully write their doctoral thesis on economics.

The Master's in Fundamental Infectiology (M2RIF) offers training in research through research carried out by research professionals (research professors and researchers). Students can expect to receive cutting-edge scientific, conceptual and practical training in the field of infectiology and to train in the main forms of scientific communication. After completing this program, students will have the option to continue with a dissertation in science for a career in academic or private research (researchers, research professors, research manager); or to develop solid skills in infectiology at a Master’s level, which will then enable them to further their education to gain dual skills (management, marketing, legal, etc.); or to directly enter the workforce as an engineer.

Promoting interdisciplinary studies between medieval history, archaeology and literature, and between these fields and anthropology, sociology and law.Developing comparative research between medieval Christian and Islamic worlds, from the end of antiquity to the beginning of the early modern period. Providing training in research methodology and a solid technical foundation in archaeology, analysis of medieval texts and images, and digital humanities.

The Nanoscale Engineering Master’s program provides students with skills in the disciplines underpinning microtechnology and nanotechnology applications (telecommunications, pharmacology, materials, etc.). It has a close partnership with high-level research laboratories and cutting-edge companies.It prepares students for an academic career or a career in large international companies.

This Master's degree aims to train optics, image-processing and color professionals, who will be able to develop engineering, innovation or fundamental research activities in sectors linked to photonics, materials for optics, functionalization of surfaces, telecommunications, scientific instrumentation, industrial non-destructive testing, vision, imaging and multimedia 2D and 3D technologies.

The Master's in Physics and Chemistry provides general training of excellence, enabling students to explore high-level disciplinary fields in physics and/or chemistry with true innovation potential. This study program is a springboard towards a range of professions in research and higher education.

The Fundamental Computer Science program as part of the Master's in Computer Science aims to enable students to pursue a thesis from a large choice of subjects and to provide each student with the broadest possible scientific knowledge before they specialize.

This multidisciplinary Master's program addresses all aspects of the territorial management, knowledge and restoration of continental aquatic environments, and the development of these spaces. It is designed to train specialists to be able to deal with the management of continental hydrosystems in a comprehensive manner. This training program corresponds to a more global collective approach based on the WFD 2000/60/EC and LEMA 2007, which requires a cross-disciplinary approach to water issues within functional and coherent spatial entities.

This international and interdisciplinary Master's program trains specialists in the conservation, management and development of heritage from the 20th to the 21st century. In a "mixed" approach combining technology and culture, modernity and memory, the program aims to look into scenarios where urban heritage is rehabilitated/redeveloped to bring territorial dynamics back to the forefront through a caring and sustainable approach.
