Goals
The research-oriented International Master's program in Agricultural Sciences (IMAS)
in Agricultural Sciences) is at the heart of the IMPLANTEUS University Research School (EUR), which has been designed in partnership with the INRAE Regional Centre to meet the challenge of adapting Mediterranean agricultural systems for fruit and vegetable production to the constraints of global change, while promoting high nutritional quality.
The IMAS course offers a training programme in English combining plant and environmental sciences.
The IMAS course offers training in English combining plant and environmental sciences, food chemistry, process science, microbiology, human nutrition and consumer science.
International
The strong international character of the IMAS course is reflected in:
- A systematic use of English in the teaching.
- Support for international mobility.
- Strong involvement of the EUR's international partners in the teaching program (through seminars and summer schools) and in hosting students for their laboratory internships.
Internships
By entering the IMAS course, M1 and M2 students commit to:
- Carry out 2 research internships in EUR laboratories (including those of international partners) with adequate financial support (grants + mobility grants).
- Develop a project in collaboration with the private sector and supervised by a socio-economic partner. Projects may deal with research, innovation or any subject at the science/society interface.

The IMAS course promotes professional integration of its students through:
- The promotion of student projects in collaboration with the private sector
- The involvement of socio-economic partners in:
- Training (short modules targeted at R&D)
- Tutoring of student projects
- Hosting students for short periods in relation to their research internships
- The organization of an annual professional fair and workshops for professional integration
Further studies
Given the research orientation of the IMAS course and the 2 internships in laboratories for a total of 10 months, students are naturally encouraged to continue their studies with a doctorate, particularly in the EUR laboratories, which are associated within the Doctoral School 536 Agrosciences & Sciences (ED536).
