Our Training Programme

The Master’s Degree in Health Biology and its “Nutrition, Health and Mobility” (NHM) track

The Nutrition, Health and Mobility (NHM) track is fully aligned with the key research themes of CIR3. It offers an interdisciplinary programme focused on:

  • the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying chronic diseases
  • the regulation of muscle mass and neuromuscular function
  • nutrition–microbiota–metabolism interactions
  • biological and clinical determinants of mobility
  • translational approaches in health

This track is part of the Graduate Track “Nutrition, Health and Mobility” and benefits from English-taught courses in both Master 1 and Master 2, strengthening its international attractiveness.
 

A Structuring Scientific Foundation
 

The programme is closely connected with:

  • the research units involved in CIR3

  • partner healthcare institutions

  • the site’s technological platforms

Students complete research internships within associated laboratories, allowing them to develop strong methodological skills and gain hands-on experience within ongoing scientific projects.
 

Research-Based Training
 

CIR3 actively contributes to:

  • doctoral supervision

  • hosting postdoctoral researchers

  • supporting early-career scientists

  • organizing scientific events promoting the dissemination of doctoral research activities

This dynamic helps structure a continuous education–research pathway, encouraging pursuit of doctoral studies and facilitating careers in academia, healthcare, or the health innovation sector.

 
International Dimension
 

Internationalisation is a major pillar of the programme:

  • courses taught in English

  • collaborations with European and North American academic partners

  • incoming and outgoing mobility opportunities

  • participation in international programmes

Contribution to the University Strategy
 

The CIR3-supported training offer is part of Université Clermont Auvergne’s overall strategy, which aims to:

  • consolidate key expertise areas in Health Biology

  • strengthen the links between research, education, and innovation

  • develop an interdisciplinary and translational approach

  • increase the national and international visibility of the university site
