Connecting Athens and Paris: Our Partnership with Sorbonne Université

The International MSc in Molecular Biomedicine has developed a dynamic partnership with Sorbonne Université, one of Europe's leading research-intensive universities.

● Beyond the Classroom: Discover, Connect, Explore

This collaboration gives our students new opportunities to:

discover different academic and research environments
learn from internationally recognised scientists
connect with leading researchers in molecular biomedicine
develop international scientific networks
gain research experience abroad

Several Professors from Sorbonne Université already contribute to the teaching activities of our MSc programme through established courses and lectures. These classes take place:

in-person at the Medical School - NKUA
in-person at the BSRC “Alexander Fleming”
shared hybrid courses and lectures connecting students and professors in Athens and Paris

This allows our students to interact directly with researchers working at the forefront of biomedical research and to discover new perspectives, approaches and scientific fields.

● Learning from Sorbonne Professors

● Erasmus+ Research Mobility: A Historic First

For the first time in the history of the Medical School of NKUA, Master's students will undertake an Erasmus+ mobility programme as part of their studies. 5 students from our International MSc in Molecular Biomedicine will spend part of their Master's thesis working in laboratories of Sorbonne Université in Paris. This will give them the opportunity to:

experience a new international research environment
work alongside researchers and fellow students in Paris
develop new scientific skills and collaborations
become part of a wider European research community

The exchange will be reciprocal: our MSc programme will also host students from Sorbonne Université, giving them the opportunity to carry out part of their research training in Athens.

● Building the Future Together

The partnership between Athens and Paris is continuously expanding through teaching, research training, student mobility and scientific exchange. Together, the two institutions are working towards developing even more opportunities for students to study, collaborate and conduct research across Europe. For our students, this means that their MSc experience can extend far beyond the classroom — from the Medical School-NKUA and the BSRC “Alexander Fleming” in Athens to research laboratories and academic environments in Paris.

● Our MSc Partner Programs at Sorbonne University

Master in Integrative Biology and Physiology (BIP)
The Master BIP trains students in the most recent concepts of integrative biology, to understand the mechanisms underlying the various physiological and pathological functions from the cell to the body, in animals or humans. Beyond scientific knowledge, it allows the acquisition of transversal, conceptual and methodological skills, necessary for professional integration and / or the pursuit of doctoral studies.

Master in Molecular and Cellualr Biology (BMC)
The Master BMC providse students with a very high level of training in molecular and cellular biology in the broadest sense, and then to specialize in these or other fields such as biochemistry, developmental biology, stem cells, biotechnology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, bioinformatics or biophysics.
