EDSML
The Doctoral School of Marine and Coastal Sciences (SML) is multidisciplinary and draws on research laboratories of excellence. It aims to train specialists in their discipline who are capable of working in a multidisciplinary scientific context. Hosted and housed at the IUEM, this doctoral school contributes to the development of a culture in marine sciences that also extends to human and social sciences.
It has around 230 doctoral students across three sites (mainly UBO, but also UBS and the Institut Agro Rennes-Angers). The EDSML draws on 22 specialities, a dozen research structures, three associated institutions (IFREMER Bretagne, SHOM and the Naval Academy) and 180 holders of a HDR (habilitation à diriger des recherches, or accreditation to supervise research).

Doctoral School of Marine and Coastal Sciences
The Doctoral School of Marine and Coastal Sciences is naturally multidisciplinary and aims to bring together the disciplines involved in the study of the marine environment in the broadest sense. It trains high-level specialists in the universe sciences, life sciences, human sciences and engineering.
Continuing education
The SML Master’s degrees offer, at IUEM, the framework for UBO’s continuing education on marine topics and offers a complete catalogue.
Pedagogical Innovation
The Pedagogical Innovation Service supports university pedagogy. A pedagogical engineer accompanies, supports and trains teachers, students and doctoral students in the transformation of their pedagogical practices. It also helps to promote these initiatives.
