Annotation

The following international cooperation exists:

The international cooperative study programme in "International Master on the Biology of Ageing" (imAGEin) is funded by the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master funding line of the EU and offers you the opportunity to acquire an international double degree from two renowned European universities while also studying in two different countries and receiving generous Erasmus scholarships.

As part of the programme, five European universities (Université Côte d'Azur, Sorbonne Université Paris, Universidade de Coimbra, Universidad de Sevilla, University of Cologne) have joined forces to offer a coordinated, integrated curriculum suitable to a wide range of academic interests and career ambitions. Students with an interest can choose between three professionalisations: 1) Basic research, 2.) Applied biomedical research or 3.) Biotechnology.
The course can be started at one of the participating universities; the transfer to a second participating university in another country occurs after the first year of study. Applicants from each cohort also have the opportunity to receive generous Erasmus scholarships for the duration of their two-year course of studies.

Please note the application and admission process, which is regulated by the Université Côte d 'Azur and differs from the regular programmes of the University of Cologne. Further information can be found at:
