The IDIL graduate program

A two-year international Master's program to familiarize students with the world of research, in collaboration with the University of Montpellier's research laboratories.

Promoting interdisciplinarity around Feed, Protect, Care

Interdisciplinarity is an emerging need in research in all scientific fields. The University of Montpellier wishes to encourage this interdisciplinarity and meet the needs of scientific communities by developing a new vision of training and research, based on issues or themes at the interface of the Montpellier site's three major pillars of excellence: Feed, Care and Protect.

Strengthening the Master's degree linkPhD

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 "In Lab" training starting at Master 1 level

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.

International training

All IDIL courses are taught entirely in English, with the aim of making our courses more attractive to international students. A financial support program has also been set up to help our international students:

  • 4-month scholarships (in addition to the 6-month internship bonus);
  • financial support for travel to France;
  • French as a Foreign Language courses.
