Presentation
The Institut National Supérieur du Professorat et de l'Education (INSPE) - Académie de Montpellier organizes, with the universities of the Académie, the training of students preparing for the competitive examinations of the National Education.
The Faculty of Sciences of the University of Montpellier welcomes students preparing for the CAPET exam (Certificat d'Aptitude au Professorat de l'Enseignement Technique) - Biotechnology section - Biochemistry and Biological Engineering option.
This training is intended for students who want to become Biotechnology - Biochemistry - Biological Engineering teachers in secondary schools (STL and ST2S technological series) and/or in higher education (BTS Biotechnologies, BTS Bioanalysis and Control, BTS Medical Biology Analysis...) or in IUT (DUT Biological Engineering).
Objectives
The objective of the two years of the Master's program is to prepare for the CAPET Biotechnologies exam, option Biochemistry and Biological Engineering. The exam takes place during the Master 2 year.
Know-how and skills
This Master's degree aims to provide students with :
- scientific skills in the biotechnology fields;
- the didactic and professional skills required to carry out the duties of a teacher in the National Education system.
The Master's program is structured around three main areas:
- Disciplinary courses: biochemistry, molecular genetics, microbiology, human physiology, cell biology, immunology and biological analysis technologies (TP) and biological engineering;
- didactics: general approach to pedagogy and didactics and analysis of classroom situations and activities;
- practice of the profession: presentation of the educational system and compulsory internships in general and technological high schools.
Organization
Program
The Biotechnology option of the Biochemistry and Biological Engineering Master MEEF2nd degree is divided into 4 semesters, each of which includes teaching units (UE) validated by ECTS credits.
All the UE (except the Common Core and LVE UE) are specific to the course. They are not shared with other courses in order to offer students a quality education in line with the preparation of a National Education exam.
The competition takes place during the Master 2 year.

Admission
Conditions of access
You can apply for the Master MEEF 2d degree Biotechnologies option Biochemistry and Biological Engineering:
- Students who have validated a L3 in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Teaching Professions or Biochemistry or Microbiology or Biotechnology or Molecular and Cellular Biology or equivalent;
- Students with a first year Master's degree (M1) or a Master's degree (M2) or a degree equivalent to a Master's degree (engineering degree) or a doctorate.
How to register
Applications are made on the following platforms:
French & European students:
- For the M1, follow the procedure " My Master " from the website : https://www.monmaster.gouv.fr/
- For M2, students must submit their application via the e-candidat application: https: //candidature.umontpellier.fr/candidature
Acceptance is not automatic: it is decided on the basis of the application file by a pedagogical committee.
Target audience
- Students who have validated a L3 in Life Sciences Biotechnology or Biochemistry or Microbiology or Biotechnologies or Molecular and Cellular Biology or equivalent;
- Students with a first year Master's degree (M1) or a Master's degree (M2) or a degree equivalent to a Master's degree (engineering degree) or a PhD.
Necessary pre-requisites
Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences with a focus on biotechnology or biochemistry, microbiology or cellular and molecular biology.
Recommended prerequisites
A background in chemistry, human physiology, and genetics is recommended.
And then
Further studies
Students who have passed the competitive examination and have validated their M2 automatically hold a position as a certified teacher of Biochemistry and Biological Engineering in high school under the status of civil servant of the French National Education. Students who have validated their M2 but who have not won the competitive examination are employed as contractual or substitute teachers in high schools.
Professional integration
The results obtained by our students have positioned the Academy of Montpellier in a very good position in terms of success in the national competitive examination for the CAPET Biotechnologies option Biochemistry Engineering (BGB). The students who have passed the exam and validated their M2 automatically hold a position as a certified teacher of Biochemistry and Biological Engineering in high school under the status of civil servant of the French National Education. The students who have validated their M2 but have not won the competitive examination are employed as contractual or substitute teachers in high schools.
