Double diploma with Tsukuba University

At the University of Bordeaux, the Master Program in Biology AgroSciences aims to provide our students with academic and research competencies and transform them in highly trained professionals with excellent research abilities and abundant fundamental knowledge principally based on plant breeding, plant pathology, plant biotechnology, agro food production & innovation, and plant & health benefits.
 
 Students with international competencies have better job prospects when they graduate. In the new global bioeconomy, millions of cross-border relationships are developing in all sectors of the bioeconomy. Businesses of every size are being transformed – from large international biotechnology compagnies to small local firms in your hometown.
All kinds of employers are purchasing goods and services from around the world, and they are asking their employees to work online with people located in other countries. This story is true also for agrobusinesses. A new workforce is emerging to manage these relationships, and its members have a new currency – a clearly definable set of "international work competencies."  
 
Besides the French- language program, we also offer the " International Biology AgroSciences" English-language program which aims to develop international competencies.  
 
A double degree program in global food security with University of Tsukuba (Japan) create opportunities for students to gain more international experiences in food security, develop their communicationcompetencies, and become global leaders.
