Presentation
The oenologist accompanies and supervises the elaboration of wines in cooperatives and wine-producing farms
.
They may also work in laboratories and institutes and hold positions in
research, consulting and innovation, which are particularly decisive in the face of the new challenges that this profession must face.
In the wine industry, they are the scientific experts.
The L3 DNO preparatory course is designed for students who wish to become oenologists and who have a particular interest in science.
Between 90 and 100% in L3.

Objectives
The objective of the DNO preparatory course is to offer a scientific refresher to students from
different backgrounds by acquiring solid theoretical knowledge and
essential to the profession of oenologist, mainly in chemistry, but also in biology.
It also aims to awaken the scientific spirit, to develop rigor and critical thinking,
to put the student in a position to solve new problems and to develop relational skills.
Know-how and skills
This course of study in the chemistry field offers students the opportunity to acquire :
specific and technical disciplines (mobilizing concepts to analyze and solve
problems in organic and inorganic chemistry, applied thermodynamics, and analytical chemistry
; adopting a multidisciplinary approach ; mastering basic knowledge in biology
molecular ; to elaborate and execute in autonomy an experimental approach including methods
of chemical and biological analyses by optimizing and validating the learned analytical techniques,
to understand and interpret experimental results by using the scientific literature related
to the problem, to use statistical tools adapted to biology),
-professional (to acquire organizational skills to manage one's projects,
define the objectives and the context, develop the notion of responsibility in the service of a project,
self-evaluation, analyze viticultural systems, have knowledge of major issues related to
food sciences, conduct a supervised professional project),
- transversal disciplinary and linguistic (analyze and synthesize data in order to
their exploitation; using different tools, information and communication technologies
to process and produce information; knowing how to communicate in English
)
- relational (learning to cooperate on projects, identifying one's resources and
limitations within a group, taking a step back from a situation, rethinking one's way
of interacting to promote cohesion)
Organization
Internships, tutored projects
This theoretical training is completed in semester 6 by a compulsory internship in a company
or a university laboratory related to wine sciences.
Some UE include collaborative projects.
Finally, the generalist training is supported by more technical missions such as the analysis of the
viti/wine systems of the territories.

Admission
Target audience
Recruitment to the L3 pre-prep DNO is deliberately multi-partite: students from IUT Chemistry,
IUT Biological Engineering, various L2, CPGE/BCPST or reorientation of engineering schools
can apply for this training. The teaching team is also determined to
maintain access to this program for motivated students from the most technical fields (mainly BTS
viticulture œnologie).
The L3 DNO preparatory program also successfully welcomes working people who, after an initial
career, wish to change direction as part of continuing education.
The opening of this program to work-study programs further broadens the target audience to candidates
who have acquired 120 ECTS in scientific and economic studies or equivalent skills
obtained during professional experience recognized by VAE.
The selection of candidates is carried out in two stages: a pre-selection on the basis of applications (via
electronically on the Faculty of Science website from the beginning of May), followed by a motivational interview (if necessary
), which may cover, among other things, prerequisites in chemistry.
Necessary pre-requisites
Open-mindedness, capacity for abstraction, scientific curiosity, desire to surpass oneself, adaptability,
.
Recommended prerequisites
Periodic classification of elements, notion of valence electron, elementary notions
of atomistics, calculation of oxidation degrees, elementary notions of chemical reactivity:
identification of acid-base reactions, redox reactions, calculation of concentrations,
dilution, nomenclature in organic chemistry, "static" stereochemistry, electronic effects and
polarity of a molecule.
