Training internationalization
The international scope of the marine and coastal sciences training programme is now a priority for IUEM. In this context, the Institute supports its students mobility, PhD students, administrative staff and teacher-researchers, and participates in various international training programmes within the European and international framework.
Internationalization “at home”
Programs in English
UEM offers two training programmes in English as part of the SML Master’s degrees:
In addition, IUEM offers the possibility of applying for a double degree.
IMBRSea
The International Master in Marine Biological Resources (IMBRSea) is a joint Master’s programme organised by nine leading European universities in the field of marine sciences. Based on the EMBRC consortium objectives, IMBRSea covers a range of topics related to marine living resources sustainable use. With a focus on marine biological and ecological processes, the programme links marine organisms biology to environmental studies and marine policy and planning topics.

ISblue
The Interdisciplinary graduate School for the Blue planet (ISblue) is a graduate school created to meet the ever-increasing challenges facing ocean and coastal ecosystems. It is also dedicated to training the next generation of innovators and scientific leaders in oceanographic research, in order to meet the growing needs of the blue economy through high-level, research-based training.
ISblue brings together most of the marine science and technology personnel in southern and western Brittany, from universities (UBO, UBS), national research organizations (CNRS, Ifremer, IRD), engineering schools, (École Navale, ENIB, ENSTA Bretagne et IMT-Atlantique).
Register in a double degree programme
To participate in double degree or cobadging (co-certification) programmes, contact your training manager.
JOINT THESIS (PhD)
You can carry out a research stay in a laboratory or in the field as part of your international mobility, or participate in a thesis co-supervision program with a partner university or institute of your choice, and through joint programmes.
- PhD Cobadging (co-certification) CIBNOR (Mexico)
- Joint program with Wollongong University (Australia)
- Joint program with Tasmania University (Australia)
- Joint program with Stellenbosch University (South Africa)
Go abroad
WHERE AND HOW TO GO?
Students: It is possible for you to go abroad as part of a paid internship, or to carry out a study mobility for one or two semesters with IUEM partner universities or in Quebec through the BCI program. Consult the recommendations on the Europe and International Department website to prepare your departure.
HOW TO FINANCE YOUR STAY?
- DEI scholarships and internships and UBO partners
- DEI PhD Mobility grants
- ISBlue Master & PhD Mobility grants
Come to IUEM
Nearly 15% of the SML Master’s degrees students are international. To join IUEM, you have several options.
APPLY INDIVIDUALLY TO IUEM
As part of an individual approach, you can apply for IUEM training courses via the Campus France network. The procedure to be followed is available on the DEI website.
AS PART OF AN ERASMUS + OR INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT
Consult the list of IUEM international agreements.
AS PART OF A RESEARCH STAY (MSc, PhD)
Contact the director of the laboratory in which you wish to spend your stay. You can apply for mobility scholarships reserved to incoming ISblue students.
AS POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWS
ISblue offers a grant to finance the young researchers mobility within the framework of its research areas.

IUEM Partnerships and International Relations Department’s mission is to promote the Institute’s research and teaching activities at the international level.
Biology
The Master’s degree is carried out in co-accreditation between the UBO and l’Institut Agro Rennes-Angers (Rennes site). It is is attached to IUEM – Université de Bretagne Occidentale and mainly to the Laboratory of Marine Environmental Sciences (LEMAR/UBO-CNRS-IRD-IFREMER) and the Biology and Ecology of Deep Marine Ecosystems Laboratory (BEEP/UBO-CNRS-IFREMER). The specialization also refers to the multidisciplinary centre of competence in the field of marine and coastal sciences existing in Brest and especially at Ifremer, which is a key partner in the training offer.
The diploma responds to a strong request for excellence in training through fundamental and applied research in the fields of marine ecosystems (course 1) and in the field of management through an ecosystemic approach of fisheries resources and aquatic environments (course 2).
The aim is to prepare young doctoral scientists, representing 2/3 of the students, with a specialization in marine biological sciences and to connect with environmental issues related to the evolution of the oceans. The training also leads 1/3 of the students to research careers related to the professional fields of marine biology, to which are added for the third course new professional opportunities within the organizations in charge of the upstream part of the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
Training courses
Marine biological sciences
Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences
This course trains future scientists in the ecosystem-based management of living resources and marine environments.
They will have a high level of expertise in their scientific fields of reference, enabling them to carry out diagnostics and take appropriate decisions in complex situations and systems, both scientifically and in terms of the methods to be used and the diversity of interactions to be taken into account.
They are at the heart of scientific research, but are also capable of translating this knowledge into advice and project support. They implement relevant and innovative techniques in complex environments to act on territories and environments according to the analysis of the context and demand. They carry out experimental work.
International Master of science in Marine Biological Resources (IMBRSea)
The International Master in Marine Biological Resources (IMBRSea) is a joint Master’s programme organised by ten leading European universities in the field of marine sciences. IMBRSea covers a wide range of topics related to the sustainable use of marine living resources. By focusing on marine biological and ecological processes, the programme links the biology of marine organisms to environmental studies and marine policy and planning topics:
- University of Ghent (BE)
- Sorbonne University (FR)
- University of Algarve (PT)
- University of Oviedo (ES)
- Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (IE)
- University of the Basque Country (ES)
- Marche Polytechnic University (IT)
- University of Bergen (NO)
- Université Bretagne Occidentale (FR)
- Université de Côte d’Azur (FR) (NEW)
The program is also supported by fourteen marine research institutes belonging to the European Centre for Marine Biological Resources (EMBRC) and other associated partners.
