Browse Programs Admission InformationThe course takes place over 04 semesters of 30 credits each (by accumulation). Each semester lasts 14 to 16 weeks. Each week corresponds to between twenty (20) and twenty-five (25) hours. Teaching in the first 3 semesters is organised into Teaching Units (TUs) comprising Fundamental TUs, Cross-disciplinary TUs, Discovery TUs and Methodology TUs. Each UE has a coefficient and is credited. Once a UE has been acquired, the credits allocated to it can be capitalised and transferred. A UE is made up of one or more subjects; each subject has a coefficient and is allocated credits. Each subject is taught in the form of lectures, tutorials, personal work, work placements and study projects. Semester 4 corresponds to an internship or an introductory research project, culminating in a dissertation and oral presentation.
From semester 1 to semester 3, the courses provide in-depth knowledge of the hospital environment, hygiene and safety conditions in relation to nosocomial infections.
The main courses are:
- Microbiology of nosocomial infections and modes of transmission of infectious agents.
- Prevention and control of infectious diseases.
- Antibiotic therapy and infection control strategies for multi-resistant strains.
The final semester is devoted to writing the final dissertation, a genuine piece of primary research.
Hospital hygiene is essential to prevent nosocomial infections and ensure the safety of patients and staff. The following are some of the topics covered:
- Control of the hospital environment: strategies for controlling infectious risks in the hospital environment, including engineering, maintenance and management of protected areas.
- Hygiene of high-risk infection procedures: prevention of blood exposure and infectious incidents during surgical procedures.
- Specific isolation and hygiene techniques: use of isolation techniques for at-risk patients and implementation of specific protocols in high-risk departments such as operating theatres.
- Qualitative approach to hospital hygiene: evaluation, monitoring, training and information to continuously improve hygiene practices.
These advanced topics help to improve understanding and management of infections in microbiology and hospital hygiene.
Students with a Bachelor's degree in Microbiology or another degree recognized as equivalent are selected on the basis of their ranking.
