I really wanted to study in a multicultural setting and with the Agro-Biomedical Science International Master, I could develop both my clinical and academic knowledge and also explore the actual industry of biomedical sciences. I found it very exciting that the University of Bordeaux offered several onsite visits of industrial facilities within the framework of the program.
