Our hybrid teaching strategy
Our teaching modules are generally designed following a blended-learning approach articulated in learning blocks allowing students to prepare for their face-to-face interactions with instructors through prior asynchronous work.
- Learning blocks are composed of short video capsules, self-paced preparatory activities, and checkpoints for students to assess their learning progress.
- Face-to-face interactions are thus reinforced and enriched by constructive exchanges in the form of recitation, workshops and discussions.

HANDS-ON!
Labs, fieldtrips & workshops
Practical works allow students to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in class, such as in environmental data analysis, marine biodiversity, conservation, ecotoxicology & biotechnology.
- Lerins campaign
-
In The Scientific Adventure students design their sampling strategy and collect data at Sea on the Lérins Archipelago. Then, these data are analysed in class and conclusions are communicated to the public

In the biotechnology module, students spend one week in the lab to extract and identify bioactive molecules from marine resources to be used in cosmetics, pharmaceutics or agriculture
Immersion projects
Our immersion projects connects the students together and with local and international professionals in science, conservation and/or entrepreneurship according to their career objectives. In short, the immersion projects encompass the 1st-year internships, but it's much more than that!
