FOR WHICH THE LEVEL AND DURATION VARY.

• University Diplomas - DU:

These diplomas unique to individual universities vary

in their academic level, subject matter and duration.

• Specific programs

• Summer courses

DEGREESFrench higher education has adopted the common Europeanarchitecture (LMD) that takes into account the number of yearsof validated study following the Baccalaureat (French highschool matriculation examination for university entrance).

NB :• The Baccalauréat is the first degree awarded in the French highereducation system; it gives students access to higher educationinstitutions.

• ECTS credits: Credits earned under the European CreditTransfer System are recognized throughout Europe. A full yearof academic work represents 60 ECTS credits: http://ec.europa.eu

Thus,

• Baccalauréat + three years = Licence (180 ECTS),

• Baccalauréat + five years = Master (300 ECTS),

• Baccalauréat + eight years = Doctorat (PhD).

Licence, Master and Doctoratare the key stages of higher education studies.

Art, Architecture and Specialized SchoolsThese institutions offer higher-level training in specific areas such as art, design, fashion,tourism, architecture, paramedical services, social services, and so on.France’s schools of art and specialized schools also undergo national certification.

Art public schools confer national certification or diploma. Art private schools, and thoseaffiliated with chambers of commerce and industry (the latter are known as écolesconsulaires) confer certificates or professional titles. Those that have earned accreditationare listed in the Répertoire National de Certification Professionnelle (RNCP; national registryof professional certification, www.cncp.gouv.fr) and classified according to the level ofemployment for which they prepare their students.

Understandingthe French System

UniversitiesFrance's 85 public universities are spread throughout the country and cover the entirerange of academic disciplines. The universities deliver national diplomas, whichhave the same weight regardless of the institution that confers them.Research activities are an integral part of the universities: 286 doctoral schools train4,000 doctoral students in connection with more than 1,200 research laboratories(affiliated with both the universities and research institutions). 1/3 PhD is prepared by aforeign student.

Programs in medicine, pharmacology, and dentistry are connected to theuniversities in partnership with hospital centres, and have their own organization andcourses of study.

Grandes ÉcolesThe Grandes Écoles are uniquely French institutions. Created in the early 19th century inparallel to the university system, they are extremely selective and offer education of a veryhigh standard. Most offer degrees in Engineering and Business, but others specializein public administration, defense, university teaching and scholarly research (ÉcolesNormales Supérieures), agronomy, or veterinary studies. Diplomas are approved bythe Ministry of National Education and, in many cases, have obtainedinternational recognition or accreditation. Grandes Écoles offer a diploma atMaster level (Baccalauréat + 5 years) and intermediate diplomas such as Bachelor(3 years), Master of Science (4 or 5 years), Mastère Specialisé (1 year after a Masterdegree).

Grandes Écoles for EngineeringThere are roughly 220 Engineering Schools, which share common characteristics; thisguarantees the quality of the Engineering Master Degree (5 years), which is anational degree and covers all areas of engineering science. Schools that award it areaccredited by the French national Commission on Engineering Degrees (CTI). The LabelEUR-ACE, a decentralized European accreditation system of engineering studyprogrammes is awarded by the CTI

Grandes Écoles for Business and ManagementMore than 200 Business Schools offer specializations and training programs adapted tothe changing economic environment and new management practices. Instruction isoften structured around internships and international exchanges. Accreditationprocedure exists for government-recognized schools of business and management, thediplomas are approved by the Ministry of National Education or/and by the Conférencedes Grandes Écoles (CGE; www.cge.asso.fr) such as membership in the managementsection or/and have obtained international recognition or accreditation.- EQUIS (schools recognized by the European Foundation for ManagementDevelopment). www.efmd.org/equis- AACSB (institutions accredited by the U.S.-based Association to Advance CollegiateSchools of Business). www.aacsb.edu/accreditation- AMBA (programs accredited by the London-based Association of MBAs).www.mbaworld.com- EPAS (programs accredited by the European Foundation for Management Development- EFMD. www.efmd.org

Hence it can be considered as the doctoralschool for all these disciplines. In a way it is aforerunner of the University of Strasbourg, which isabout to be (re)-created. It serves as well as one of themajor focal points in Eastern France in these areas. Ona national level, the Augustin Cournot DS offers a largescope of original training courses based on well-

established research traditions in the host researchlaboratories and well known at the national as well asthe international level. Growing internationalisation isone of the major evolution prospects of the DS. One ofthe projects of the DS is to play an active role inattracting doctoral students not only at regional andnational levels but also at international level. Thereforethe DS will has been teaching some of its trainingprograms entirely in English and offers post-mastertraining programs, as is often the case at internationallevel, among our European neighbours or in Americanuniversities. Their PhD programs consist usually in atwo-year training followed by the specific researchwork. Our aim is to evolve in that direction within thelimits of our financial means. This evolution startedwith our 2005-2008 strategic plan and should be firstimplemented with the 2008 academic year.The Augustin Cournot DS is strongly interdisciplinaryboth within and between its participating research labs(and beyond). Five research labs form the DoctoralSchool and host the doctoral students. Thisinterdisciplinarity is further developed through thecooperation between the labs. Over the last few yearsresearch grants have been allocated to projects whichimplied more than one research labs, tointerdisciplinary topics (with joint supervision of thePhD students).

English proficiency: English mandatory, all commu-nication and courses are in English


Tuition fees: 237 €ObjectivesThe term ‘interdisciplinary research’ was coined todescribe the rising importance of collaborative effortacross scientific domains, a hallmark of the forefront ofcontemporary research.The term suggests a synthetic, integrative approachwhere scientists from different backgrounds formulateand address jointly a common problem. Theimportance of Interdisciplinarity goes beyond researchpractice; it is an intellectual framework and as such can

serve as a key component in scientific education.Interdisciplinary training at its best can form studentscapable of adapting to the pivotal aspect of modernlife: a continuous change. Interdisciplinary backgroundwill be increasingly valued in our world where flexibility,cooperative problem solving and communication withdifferent mindsets are essential.The AIV does not promote interdisciplinarity as adiscipline in itself and cannot be easily compared withmore traditional master degree programs. The twomain characteristics of this master are rather thepedagogical curriculum and the field to which it isapplied: Life sciences. Students in the program arededicated to continue a scientific research career, andtherefore the teaching is aimed at the common traits ofscientific investigation by working together in seminarsrather than by formal class teaching.The AIV is launched every year with the “projectwriting workshop”. During the year, weekly meetingsare held on Friday afternoons, axed around threetrimester courses. In parallel, students participate inthree trimester internships - the laboratories can bechosen from any university or institution in the Parisarea yet at least one experimental and one theoreticalinterdisciplinary project are required. Students wishingto acquire or strengthen a specific discipline canparticipate in external modules/formal coursesorganized in the Paris region in exchange with one ofthe internships.

the study of various techniques and methods, mainlyoptical, which make it possible to manufacturenanostructures and materials, to characterize theirphysical and chemical properties and to understand theassociated phenomena. Research into miniaturization ofmechanical, electronic, optical, chemical, and biological,devices has seen a huge rise in the last fifteen years,thanks to the development of new microscopes calledlocal probe microscopes. The goal of these new probetechniques is to characterize and help to build miniaturizedobjects, and thus to develop future technologies, on thescale of the nanometre (nanotechnologies), or even of theatoms molecules.The specialty of "Optics and Nano-technologies" offers training mainly in the field of opticallocal probe microscopy and a familiarization with othermicroscopic techniques (Atomic Force Microscopy AFM,Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy STM).The principal research topics covered are geared towardsthe nanosciences. They tackle the problems ofnanodetection of molecular, crystalline ornanostructured objects, but also those of modellingelectromagnetic fields on the same scale, with an aim ofunderstanding and of interpreting the observedexperimental results. Generally speaking, this specialty isbased on an "optical" approach i.e. to use a transversediscipline to explore a multi-disciplinary, and developingfield, the nanotechnologies.

Tuition fees8 000 € per year for non-European students and4 000 € per year for EU students

ObjectivesThe main objective of this Master is to teach thestudents the approaches and the informatics toolsnecessary to perform effective Data Mining andKnowledge Management. A further goal of the Masteris to initiate the students to the theoretical and/orapplied research methodologies in this field.

It is therefore obvious that the very links we are goingto set up between the academic world and theeconomic and social world will allow the Europeancompanies and public organizations to have access to awealth of Master students of high qualification inDMKM.Giving such training with a high-level of scientificexpertise and cultural richness is only possible througha European consortium. Therefore, it is clear that theMaster DMKM is de facto of great originality, which ishighly positive for the excellence in European universitytraining.We propose a training program on Data Mining andKnowledge Management (DMKM) that is well distinctfrom the other programs because of:The coherence of its pedagogical contents: thestudents will receive immediately the operationalabilities and skills, so that they can go further and stayefficient if they are confronted to the future challenges;The integration, within the very program, of a rich anddiverse European cultural experience that will be highlyappreciated by the students themselves.We can summarize the main objectives of the EMMC inDMKM in two points:Training high-skilled engineers and researchers inDMKM to fit both industry and academic researchneeds.Creating an international scientific collaborationnetwork directed by a European consortium.

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Life Science Master Programhttp://www.aiv-paris.org/en/master-aiv



Length2 semesters

Admission requirementsMaster 1: Bc.S in sciences or equivalentMaster 2: 1st year of a master degree or equivalent. Inaddition, a limited number of post-docs and PhDstudents with non-biology background who wish tolearn more about research in Life Sciences are acceptedevery year.Interview in EnglishGood command of the English language



Tuition fees237 euros

ObjectivesThe term ‘interdisciplinary research’ was coined todescribe the rising importance of collaborative effortacross scientific domains, a hallmark of the forefront ofcontemporary research.The term suggests a synthetic, integrative approachwhere scientists from different backgrounds formulateand address jointly a common problem.

The importance of Interdisciplinarity goes beyondresearch practice; it is an intellectual framework and assuch can serve as a key component in scientificeducation. Interdisciplinary training at its best can formstudents capable of adapting to the pivotal aspect ofmodern life: a continuous change. Interdisciplinarybackground will be increasingly valued in our worldwhere flexibility, cooperative problem solving andcommunication with different mindsets are essential.The AIV does not promote interdisciplinarity as adiscipline in itself and cannot be easily compared withmore traditional master degree programs. The twomain characteristics of this master are rather thepedagogical curriculum and the field to which it isapplied: Life sciences.Students in the program are dedicated to continue ascientific research career, and therefore the teaching isaimed at the common traits of scientific investigationby working together in seminars rather than by formalclass teaching.The AIV is launched every year with the “projectwriting workshop”. During the year, weekly meetingsare held on Friday afternoons, axed around threetrimester courses. In parallel, students participate inthree trimester internships - the laboratories can bechosen from any university or institution in the Parisarea yet at least one experimental and one theoreticalinterdisciplinary project are required.Students wishing to acquire or strengthen a specificdiscipline can participate in external modules/formalcourses organised in the Paris region in exchange withone of the internships.
