Expected background

MARRES is a scientific graduate program. It requires a solid background in life science obtained thanks to a 3 or 4-year bachelor or licence (French term) in a related discipline (biology, conservation and/or biochemistry). Anyway, we regularly open our program to students with other backgrounds (such as engineering, management, economy, communication), provided they can demonstrate outstanding levels of maturity, motivation and an already good knowledge of biology in general, or marine science in particular, acquired from non-academic pipelines (such as great diving experiences and marine conservation programs). Applicants with no life science background are expected to take a level-up preparation early 2021. More information will be available on the website on Fall 2020.

The English proficiency of applicants must correspond to a B2 level (preferentially C1). It must be recognized by an official test (such as Toefl iBT >60, Toefl ITP >520 or IELTS >6.0), by having attended successfully to an undergraduate or graduate program delivered fully in English, or by being a native speaker.
