The French-Japanese IMaC-Okayama Programme

  • Course duration: Up to eight months
  • Language of instruction: English
  • Course location: Japan
  • Certification: Certificate of completion

Programme Overview

The IMaC-Okayama is an international study programme organised by Okayama University’s Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology in close collaboration with Sorbonne University. It provides a high-level graduate training to Sorbonne University’s students who are already enrolled in one of our master’s programmes. Its aim is to encourage them to learn and understand interdisciplinary science in an international environment during their first year of master’s.

Programme Outline

The programme has been structured to be highly flexible, specifically for students, as they can select classes and combine their study placement with a research internship (only if their training requires and/or allows it). The programme is taught in English and is structured around lectures, tutoring sessions and group-work.
 

Lectures

Lectures start from generalities in fundamental natural science and technology, become gradually more specific and finally reach the advanced research subjects covered by the professors.

Tutoring sessions

Planned by professors and conducted as face-to-face seminars or group seminars with the professor’s research group.

Group-work

Task-solving seminars with several students (including Japanese students) and contains literature searching, discussion and presentation.

Internship
(optional)*

Students with strong motivations to deepen research approaches can combine their study placement with a research internship in one of the laboratories of Okayama University.

A special procedure applies and should be conducted prior to applying for the IMaC-Okayama programme:

  1. Step 1: the student chooses a research supervisor. To make their choice, they will be guided by a list of selected subjects provided by professors/associate professors of Okayama University's Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology.

  2. Step 2: the student contacts the programme’s local coordinator at Sorbonne University to prepare the application to the selected three supervisors of priority choice. The coordinator will provide detailed information about the selected subjects and research projects prior to applying to the IMaC-Okayama programme.

  3. Step 3: supervisors receive a cover letter and a CV from the selected candidate. They give their approval and inform the student about the procedure to follow in order to apply for a special "student-researcher status".

  4. Step 4: after approval, the student is granted a "student-researcher" status.

  5. Step 5: the student applies for the IMaC-Okayama programme.
