Master Risks and Environment ; Biodiversity, Health - Environment program - Reims

Objectives 

The Biodiversity, Health - Environment (BSE) program within the Master's degree in Risks and Environment aims to train professionals capable of designing, coordinating, and conducting (i) projects in monitoring the quality of natural environments or in management of natural environments in ecotoxicological and eco-epidemiological risk assessment contexts; (ii) scientific research projects in ecotoxicology, animal ecophysiology, and eco-epidemiology after additional doctoral studies. 

The BSE program provides students with teachings on the study of the sources and modes of transfer and accumulation of chemical and biological pollutants in environmental matrices (air, soil, water, biota). Additionally, it includes lessons on the effects of these contaminations on the health status of organisms, ecosystems, and their interactions with biodiversity and human health. The impacts of biological and chemical contaminants are analyzed at molecular, cellular, and behavioral levels in sentinel species. A significant part of the training focuses on methods for assessing eco-toxic risks and their applications in biomonitoring of natural environments. These fundamental teachings are provided by scientific experts from the public and private sectors working in the fields of study, monitoring, and ecosystem management in an eco-epidemiotoxicology context. Practical methodological teachings in biostatistics, modeling, and risk mapping are also included. The regulatory and legislative contexts related to the management and quality assessment of natural environments and to the evaluation of environmental risks within monitoring networks are also presented. Two internships in a professional setting and a supervised project in the second year of the Master's program allow students to apply their knowledge while familiarizing themselves with management techniques, project management, and communication within interactions with networks of professionals working in the scientific and technical fields of the program. 

Professional Integration: 

  • Project Manager in environmental biomonitoring, assessment of ecological and health quality of natural environments, evaluation, and prevention of environmental and health risks.
  • Research Engineer in ecotoxicology or animal ecophysiology.
  • After competition: Engineer in biological techniques, Engineer-Biologist in data processing, Engineer in biological experimentation and instrumentation.
  • Continuation of studies in a doctoral program.
