A MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course. It is a free online course accessible to a large number of learners.
After the free registration, you have access to expert videos, quizzes on these videos and a forum animated by a community manager. In addition, a live session is organised to interact with the course directors and answer your questions. It is possible to take a final exam for a fee in order to obtain a certificate.
Our MOOCs are open to all, free of charge. A bachelor's degree in biological sciences, medicine or an equivalent degree is strongly recommended.
 You can obtain the Institut Pasteur's Digital Diploma in Infectious Diseases (DNM2IP), if you pass the final exam of 5 Institut Pasteur MOOCs. Register now! |
