Introducing MAN-IMAL Master's Degree

Why the 2nd year master’s degree Man-Imal ?

The MAN-IMAL Master's "From Animal to Man: Analysing and Managing Health and Food Risks" is a post-graduate degree programme based on the ‘‘One World, One Health’’ concept promoted by the WHO, FAO and OIE.

To cope with the new issues on Public Health and Food Safety linked to our globalised, industrialised society, this formation trains students (doctors, pharmacists, veterinarians, scientists, food-processing engineers) to new job profiles.

Engineered by a pedagogical team of over 80 experts: research professors from a variety of disciplines (agronomy, medicine, veterinary studies, biology, pharmacy, law, economics), and numerous professionals from the same fields, the programme benefits from the support of each partner's research units.

The curriculum strongly emphasises the pedagogical use of ICTE allowing for maximum, individual progression within the programme and the learning processes.

Due to the international focus of MAN-IMAL, all courses are taught in English and students, as well as professors, from all over the world are welcome.

The program is dedicated to acquiring theoretical knowledge, tools and methods. Cross-disciplinary courses are provided to develop :

  • The ability to work as a multidisciplinary team
  • Skills to identify the complementary partners required for case solving

To develop these skills, our teaching focuses on :

  • Epidemiology
  • Risk and Nutritional Contamination/Transfers
  • Production Chains
  • Biological Risks
  • Chemical Risks
  • Health Organisation and Policies
  • Management and Communication

The assessment of knowledge is organised in continuous assessments and final examinations. Different assessment methods are used: written assignments, presentations, tutored project and internship report.

During the second semester, students do an internship of 5 to 6 months, whose subject is directly related to the man-imal themes, in a professional environment, in France or abroad.

This internship leads to the completion and defence of a Master’s thesis.

Teaching takes place at Oniris (Food Science Campus and Veterinary Campus) as well as at the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine of Nantes University.

The main employers of Master's graduates are :

  • Health risk assessment agencies in France and in Europe
