People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria · Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific ResearchThe Higher School of Biological Sciences of Oran educates engineers who connect fundamental knowledge of living systems with biotechnology applications. Its mission combines scientific education, experimental skills and engagement with research and professional needs.
Biology, chemistry, physics and mathematical tools build a shared scientific foundation. Languages, communication and computing complement this preparation: understanding a problem, organising an approach and presenting results clearly.
Explore preparatory coursesMolecular biology, enzyme engineering, immunotechnology and forensic biology apply life sciences in specialist settings. Programmes combine disciplinary knowledge, data analysis, workshops and projects to develop expertise progressively.
Explore specialisations and courses
Practicals and workshops place observation, supervised laboratory work and interpretation at the centre of learning. Students connect scientific questions to methods, examine results and discuss their limitations.
Reports, presentations, projects and placements also develop independence, teamwork and scientific communication. Academic rigour is expressed through sound reasoning as well as technical competence.
Laboratories, the library, campus spaces and the conference hall provide complementary places to learn and share. Scientific and student activities extend classroom learning through meetings, presentations and exchanges across cohorts.
The genomics platform, Incubator, Entrepreneurship Development Centre and Technology and Innovation Support Centre connect scientific skills with research, intellectual property and entrepreneurial projects.
Explore support structures
Academic excellence grows through everyday work: asking precise questions, choosing appropriate approaches, analysing systematically and communicating clearly. Preparatory and specialist courses give this progression tangible content.
Connect biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics, alongside communication and computing.
Observe and work in supervised workshops, attending to measurement quality and traceability.
Use statistics and digital tools, distinguish observations from conclusions and discuss limitations.
Write reports, substantiate an analysis and contribute to a shared project.
From biological mechanisms to biological data
Molecular biology, microbial engineering, metagenomics, biostatistics and biological programming connect biological phenomena with experimental and computational analysis.
Explore courses and curriculumUnderstand enzymes and their applications
The study of proteins and enzymatic reactions connects with analytical methods and data-processing tools. Workshops give a practical context to the properties and applications of biomolecules.
Explore courses and curriculumConnect immunology and biotechnology
Immunogenetics, biochemistry and molecular biology are complemented by workshops in immunology, bioactive molecules and immunoinformatics.
Explore courses and curriculumAnalyse, interpret and substantiate
Molecular biology, forensic biochemistry and identification disciplines develop critical analysis of biological evidence, with particular attention to careful observation and the limits of interpretation.
Explore courses and curriculumThe library supports documentary research beyond the classroom. Laboratories and workspaces support practice and scientific exchange. Green spaces provide a pleasant setting between classes, while the Boucif Zoulikha conference hall and student activities create opportunities to meet and present projects.
