STUDYING IN MONTPELLIER
In France, university studies take place over 3, 5 and 8 years, leading to the Bachelor's, Master's and PhD degrees. For each diploma, courses are divided into semesters (2 semesters per academic year), each corresponding to 30 credits, which can be capitalized and transferred within France and Europe. Erasmus students can spend 1 or 2 semesters studying at the Faculty of Pharmacy.
International students can spend part of their studies at the Faculty of Pharmacy by enrolling in the Health Engineering Licence or one of the Master's courses:
- MPES: Project Management in Environment and Health
- CPPS: Design and Production of Healthcare Products: two specializations: Pharmaceuticals or Cosmetology
- MPPS: Project Management, Healthcare Product Marketing
- MODM: Clinical Operations Management and Data Management: two specializations: Clinical Study Coordination and Clinical Database Management
- DMCC: Medical Devices: from Design to Market
