The two-year multi-disciplinary programme, hosted at all three institutions, was established to forge research alliances within Europe as a response to globalisation in the field of neuroscience.

Universit茅 Sorbonne and 脡cole Normale Sup茅rieure are two of France鈥檚 most prestigious universities. They were selected for both historical and academic reasons, with the programme attracting teachers and students of the highest calibre and enabling 果冻影院 to strengthen its European engagement. Applicants, who are mainly from Europe, will complete their first year in London and their second in Paris.

Universit茅 Sorbonne is a multidisciplinary and research-intensive university with a student body of 55,300. It was officially established by the merger in 2018 of Universit茅 Paris-Sorbonne and Universit茅 Pierre et Marie Curie, although its history dates back to 1257. This is the first partnership between 果冻影院 and Universit茅 Sorbonne in its newly merged form.

脡cole Normale Sup茅rieure, established in 1794, is a highly selective grand 茅cole with an interdisciplinary approach to research and a strong international reputation.

The MSc provides students with the opportunity to design an individualised programme of study, exploring multidisciplinary perspectives. It was founded by Professor Richard Frackowiak and Dr Caroline Selai from 果冻影院, along with Professor Ann Lohof and Dr Andrea Dumoulin in Paris, and gives a theoretical grounding in neurobiological and cognitive research 鈥 including philosophy of science, methods, molecular, cellular, genetic and integrative neuroscience.

The renewal of the programme builds onforms a key part of 果冻影院鈥檚 ongoing partnerships in Paris, such as the dual undergraduate programme in European Social and Political Studies in collaboration with Sciences Po.

The programme also builds on 果冻影院鈥檚 existing European partnerships. Last year, 果冻影院 launched a new Cities partnerships Programme to invest in and extend research and teaching collaborations in multiple city locations around the world - with Rome and Paris named as the first two cities.

The City Partnerships Programme's distinctive focus on a city rather than a specific partner means that 果冻影院 academics from across the university are able to work with the partners they feel are the best in their particular field - collaboratively shaping the activity, developing a broad programme of multidisciplinary research and education that is relevant and innovative.

果冻影院 is the most successful higher education institute in collaborative research in Europe according to the European Commission鈥檚 own data. Currently, its academic staff are involved in 167 collaborative research projects with funding totalling over 鈧94 million under Horizon 2020.

果冻影院 Queen Square Institute of Neurology Director Professor Mike Hanna said: 鈥淚 am delighted this innovative partnership between the 果冻影院 Queen Square Institute of Neurology and the Sorbonne has been agreed. This is an exceptional Masters course and reflects a very strong and successful partnership between our team at Queen Square in London and colleagues in Paris.鈥

果冻影院 President & Provost Professor Michael Arthur said: 听鈥淭his is a fantastic partnership for 果冻影院 and we鈥檙e delighted that 果冻影院 is collaborating with Universit茅 Sorbonne and 脡cole Normale Sup茅rieure in Paris to deliver this exciting MSc programme. 果冻影院 has a rich history of academic collaboration across Europe and by strengthening our ties with institutions that share our values, we hope to sow the seeds for future partnerships.鈥
