IDIL GRADUATE PROGRAM
Learning Through Research

The IDIL Graduated Program

A two-year international master’s program designed to introduce students to the world of research in collaboration with the research laboratories at the University of Montpellier

Promoting interdisciplinary collaboration around Feed, Prevention, and Care

Interdisciplinarity is an emerging need in research across all scientific fields. The University of Montpellier aims to promote this interdisciplinarity and meet the needs of scientific communities by developing a new vision for education and research, based on issues or themes situated at the intersection of the three major pillars of excellence at the Montpellier campus: Feed, Care, and Protect.

Strengthening thePhD Transition

For research-oriented students, the IDIL program allows them to begin laboratory immersion as early as possible.

Starting M1, the students will build a personalized project that will be the guideline for their training, with the help of their pedagogical tutors and mentors. To do this, they can choose personalized teaching units suited to their profile.

The mentor who accompanies the student during the two-year internship can thus establish a relationship of trust with him/her, and facilitate the pursuit of his/her research towards a PhD.

Offer an "In Lab" course starting in the first year of the master's program

The primary objective is to train students through research and for research in laboratories attached to the University of Montpellier. To this end, 6-month internships are planned, not only to introduce students to the world of research as early as possible, but also to enable them to learn some of the concepts usually covered in lectures, in direct contact with researchers.

All Master 1 and Master 2 internships are subsidized.

In addition to this system, "In Lab" teaching units, delivered by research teams over a few days, are organized in the laboratories, with the aim of learning a specific technique, method or notion in immersion.

Expand the program internationally

All IDIL programs are taught entirely in English, with the aim of making our programs more attractive to international students. A financial aid program has also been established to support our international students upon their arrival:

  • 4-month scholarships (in addition to the 6-month internship stipend);
  • coverage of travel expenses to come to France;
  • French as a Second Language classes.
