The École Supérieure de Biotechnologie de Strasbourg is a state school of biotechnology within the University of Strasbourg, where French, German and Swiss students follow a 3-year engineering course in biotechnology (after a 2-year higher education course). The tri-national programme is based on the complementarity of three centres: Basel, Freiburg and Strasbourg. The school benefits from the skills of teachers, researchers and engineers at our three partner universities, and our associated research centre. The multi-disciplinary course is based on a solid culture of basic sciences, engineering sciences, languages as well as economic, social and human disciplines.
