Open science has become an integral part of research organization policies and funding bodies. It is also a very important element of Sorbonne University's institutional policy (Projet d'établissement 2019-2023, Charter for Open Access to Publications, Policy on Open Data).

Actions for open science are also held in high regard during internal evaluations (such as calls for projects or recruitment).

Learn more about the international movement for Open Science, which is the "unfettered dissemination of the results, methods and products of scientific research."
 

Presentation of the MOOC

Led by a joint team from the Sorbonne University libraries and the French National Museum of Natural History (Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle), this MOOC, which is entirely free of charge, is intended primarily for doctoral candidates, particularly those from the Sorbonne University Alliance. However, it is open to everyone. Its development reflects the commitment made by Sorbonne University in the Charter for Open Access to Publications to train all its doctoral candidate in open science.

All contents of the MOOC are under a CC-BY license and can therefore be freely reused, in particular by other higher education and research institutions.

Medicine

The Faculty of Medicine teaches the 3 cycles of medical studies: from PASS (integrated into the faculty) to the 3rd cycle including DES, DESC, DU and DIU. The lessons are given mainly on two sites: Pitié-Salpêtrière and Saint-Antoine. The faculty also provides paramedical education: speech therapy, psychomotricity and orthoptics. The Saint-Antoine site includes a midwifery school.

Welcome to Sorbonne University's Faculty of Science & Engineering

A unique combination of courses and expertise

Our international study programmes are organised according to the major disciplinary areas of the faculty. They represent the graduate study programmes that are not strictly conducted in French or that could be suitable (in part) for non French-speaking students. They also reflect part of the diversity of the disciplines involved and the bi- and inter-disciplinary aspects of many of the courses we offer.

 

Research & Innovation

We rely on disciplinary skills and on interdisciplinary approaches to renew concepts, methods and research subjects and to focus on some of the crucial issues faced by our societies: transformations affecting the very construction of knowledge (data, AI), the treatment of complex objects (the environment, marine and ocean sciences, cultural heritage) or our contributions to addressing societal challenges (climate change, healthcare).

Study at | The Faculty of Science & Engineering

Our campuses offer different and unique experiences to our students, visitors and staff. Resources and support services are also available to ensure an equal chance at success to all.

Campus Life

In addition to the cultural activities and events organised throughout the year by our clubs and societies, the Parismus society organises numerous events, evenings and cultural visits that will help you discover France and its parisian life.
