Master in Biomimicry and Surface Engineering
Objectives
The objective of the international Master in Biomimicry and Surface Engineering is to train scientists in materials science and surface engineering through a new transverse approach to biomimicry and ecological transition. This Master’s degree offers a cross-disciplinary approach to biomimicry: biomimicry and ecological transition, manufacturing and functionalisation of surfaces, digital sciences. It provides theoretical learning based on numerous practical activities as practical work or projects in connection with the SURFAB technical platform.

What our students say
"The master NSE proved to be an invaluable experience. From an educational perspective, having studied Biotechnology, the master opened me a whole new perspective into Science through the courses, and ended up shaping my doctoral thesis. Moreover, as my classmates and I came from very different scientific disciplines, we had to learn to communicate with each other, as it turned out that we considered things from very different viewpoints, which is what happens in the real world, but it is not always obvious. Finally, it was as well an extremely nourishing experience from a cultural perspective, as we were coming from all corners of Earth, which pushed us into knowing other cultures, and resulted in lifelong friendships and the creation of a small yet big international family!"
