Training summary
The BEE Master is organized into two courses:
The objective of the Master Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution (BEE) is to train students at baccalaureate level +5 capable of carrying out fundamental or applied research, expert work or environmental assessment in the fields of ecology and tropical biodiversity.
Depending on the course chosen and the internships completed in Master 1 and Master 2, students will specialize in the field of aquatic, coastal and island ecosystems or in that of terrestrial, natural and cultivated ecosystems.
The training is carried out via classic academic approaches offering theoretical background, but also via applied field studies in Reunion or in the Indian Ocean zone. Its aim is to assimilate operational techniques from terrestrial and marine ecology, via project-based approaches to develop skills in terms of organization and collaboration in French and English.
For the BEST-ALI course, training takes place over two years, on the Moufia campus with two internship periods. It is supported by the Science and Technology Training and Research Unit and the Entropy Joint Research Unit (UMR).
The BEST-ALI course has a network of partnerships specific to the marine and coastal domain in Reunion, in France, in other overseas communities and internationally in the Indian Ocean zone, in particular with institutes and laboratories of research, agencies and administrations, as well as with private and associative structures such as design offices, associations with a local or international dimension.

Training aims
The objective of the Master in Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution (BEE) is to train students at baccalaureate level +5 capable of carrying out fundamental or applied research, expert work or environmental assessment in the fields of tropical ecology and biodiversity.
Advantages of the training
The BEST-ALI course offers both solid training in ecology and evolutionary biology, but also a specialization in aquatic, coastal and island tropical ecosystems.
An approach to interdisciplinarity is proposed.
The training is carried out via classic academic approaches aimed at offering serious theoretical background to students, but also via applied field studies in Reunion or in the Indian Ocean zone, aiming to assimilate the operational techniques used during studies in terrestrial and marine ecology, via project-based approaches to develop organizational and collaborative skills.
