Enrollment period

The request for enrollment in a non-contractual course must be made to the pedagogical secretariat of the training department offering the course, in advance of the course starting date.  A student cannot attend classes until the administrative enrollment has been completed.

Documents to enclose with the application

Sorbonne University students are enrolled free of charge in non-contracted courses.

Anyone (employee, job-seeker, etc.) whose goal is to acquire additional knowledge or improve their skills without necessarily obtaining a diploma, can choose à la carte courses. The Continuing Education Department can help you design a short course according to your needs, in line with your professional project (career development, professional reorientation, etc.). Candidates can enroll for single Teaching Units (TUs) through the Continuing Education Service, and then choose the TUs that interest them from the bachelor's or master's courses offered by the Faculty of Science and Engineering, either face-to-face or by distance learning, excluding those for internships*.

Thanks to the organization of our courses into teaching units, you can create a modular, personalised course and progress at your own pace. On average, a course (UE) represents 40 to 60 hours of face-to-face or distance learning courses over a semester. To take a single course as part of a continuing education program, please contact the Continuing Education Department.
