Master in Plant Sciences

Understanding plants, the challenges for tomorrow.

Logo Master Plant Sciences

Major issues in plant research for the future : ensuring agricultural production for food and feed as well as health while demography increases and acreage decreases, identifying and developing new possibilities for replacing fossil resources, and finally enabling producing that respects the environment in the context of climate change.

These issues raise many new scientific challenges. To name just a few: How plants interact with a changing environment? How do plant protect themselves from stresses? How do they manage their resources (nitrogen, water, light)? What are the limitations to growth and biomass production?

These challenges also require new tools : plant genomics, the use of natural diversity, high throughput phenotyping with automated growth facilities, high resolution imaging…

The master’s degree training in plant sciences meets these challenges.

Meet our Master's students - Karel Turquier

Karel Turquier, a French student with a Bachelor's degree in Life and Earth Sciences from the University of Picardie Jules Verne (Amiens), joined the M1 in Integrative Biology and Physiology – Plant Sciences at the Paris-Saclay University, for which he was awarded an SPS scholarship.

Léa Dehedin, a French student who completed a Bachelor's degree in Life and Earth Sciences at the University of Picardie Jules Verne (Amiens) and who was awarded an SPS scholarship, joined the M1 in Integrative Biology and Physiology – Plant Sciences at the Paris-Saclay University for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Mamour Gueye, a Senegalese student with a Bachelor's degree in Plant Biology from the University of Angers and recipient of an SPS scholarship, is enrolled in the M1 Integrative Biology and Physiology - Plant Sciences at the Paris-Saclay University.

On March 19 and 20, first-year Master’s students in Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology at Ghent University (Belgium) traveled to Paris as part of an educational exchange involving first-year students in the Master’s in Integrative Biology and Physiology (BIP) - Plant Sciences (SDV) of the Universities Paris-Cité and Paris-Saclay
