Bootcamp

The Bootcamp is an intensive course at the beginning of the first semester, before the start of the courses that characterize the courses. Its aim is to refresh and/or bring students up to speed on the basics of mathematics, physics, computer science and biology.

The course will be adapted to suit the students recruited, with the aim of ensuring a more homogeneous start to the course. Students will be immersed in a variety of role-playing games, divided into small groups. They will have to solve enigmas using their knowledge of biology, physics/mathematics, chemistry and programming, as in an escape game over several days.

Ensure that basic concepts in biology, mathematics, physics and programming are met before the start of M1, by trying to standardize students' knowledge.

Good knowledge of basic biochemistry, molecular biology, mathematics and physics at undergraduate level.
