The whole MemBioMed programme is taught in English and English proficiency is therefore a basic requirement. All applicants must provide recent proof (maximum 2 years old) of their proficiency in English through at least one of the following certificates:
Duolingo is not accepted
Test reservation is not accepted, only official result is accepted
Certificates issued for English-taught courses or study programs (MOI) will not not be accepted
You do not need to prove your English language ability if:
-You are a national of one of the countries listed below, or
-You have completed your Bachelor degree in one of these countries
Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, UK and USA
Candidated from countries not listed above, must provide an English language certificate. No exceptions or exemptions will be granted.
Please note than oral English proficiency will also be taken into account during interviews of applicants in phase 3.
Eligibility check will be performed by the application platforms during and immediately after the closure of the Call for applications. At this stage, the fulfilment of the minimum requirements specified above will be verified.
The selection process has been meticulously designed to ensure fairness and inclusivity, taking into account diverse backgrounds and experiences. Each eligible application will undergo a thorough evaluation, scored on a 100-point scale by three Local Academic Coordinators from distinct Full Partner Institutions. To maintain objectivity, any evaluator must disclose potential conflicts of interest before the assessment.
The joint selection criteria are as follows:
The SEC shall review the final grading and comments, compile a ranking based on average scores.
The cut-off to qualify for the interview is set at 75.
Candidates reaching this score will be contacted by email and invited to the 3rd phase (interview)
Remaining candidates will be notified about the panel’s decision and alerted to the appeal procedure via email.
Interviews will be conducted via video conferencing by at least three evaluators, each interview will last max 20 minutes, including a maximum 5-minute presentation.
During the interviews, candidates will be assessed on common criteria:
The academic programme is based on three existing, successful national master programmes in UniCA (France), UniGe (Italy) and UOS (Germany). In each of these master's programmes, we find the main aspects of membrane biology, but none covers all aspects of membrane biology to train the most highly qualified international specialists in the field of biomembranes. Building on our synergistic strengths, we have defined a common core of knowledge and strengthened these skills by refining the content of the programme to reflect current trends and advances in industry.
Students will follow a unique learning path:
All modules are designed in accordance with the ECTS System (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) and national regulations. HEIs partners accept differences in national and/or local regulations among the Partner Institutions concerning awarding ECTS credits and they recognize the number of ECTS credits awarded by other HEIs in the Degree Programme without further conversion. All grades shall be converted and recognized in conformity with a conversion table for grades. The credit transfer process involves the sending of student marks by the partner universities attended per semester to the MemBioMed Coordination Office (MCO). The MCO handles administrative procedures for ECTS recognition among participating HEIs, allowing the local Master diploma to be awarded. After obtaining all required credits and successfully defending the Master Thesis, official diplomas and diploma supplements are issued by the relevant HEIs and the MCO. Each Full Partner issues transcripts of records covering the semester completed at its university, sending them to the next institution and the Coordinator Officer for database recording. All grades shall be converted and recognized in conformity with a Conversion Table for the Consortium.
Students must comply with the examination regulations and criteria of the HEI where they attend the teaching modules. HEIs partners are responsible for organizing and conducting examinations and assessments in accordance with the policies and procedures in place at the HEIs. At the end of each academic year, the Selection and Examination Committee (SEC) will review the study performance status of each student and will advise on continuation of the programme in accordance with the regulations at each university. Students should have validated 60 ECTS credit points in the first year to be accepted in the second year. Students with very weak study performance may lose their scholarship or may be advised to end their study. Students who quit the programme early but have successfully completed courses will get a certificate stating the courses for which they have earned credits.Students who do not complete the study programme by the end of the timeframe defined in the student agreement (two years), may, upon approval of the MMB, still enrol for a third year. In case a student does not complete the programme after an additional third year, this student will no longer be allowed to participate in the programme. In this case, the student will receive an official transcript listing the courses for which he/she has obtained credits.

The internship shall be supervised by scientists specialised in Biomembranes employed at the organisation where the internship takes place. The duration of each internship should be at least 6 weeks. After having completed the internship, students will write a short report or present their internship experience, work tasks, and learning outcomes. The internship supervisor shall fill in a brief form about the intern´s performance and contribution. These documents will be evaluated by the local coordinating team as part of the Quality Assurance. Associated partners, guest lecturers or invited scholars may participate in these seminars as experts in the field who provide additional advice and guidance.
A number of instructions have been established for the conditions of retaking process for the final master examination, including the conditions for rescheduling, provisional validation of corresponding mobility, and final validation upon successfully passing the exam, as well as the exception for students in the last intake of the programme. These instructions are as follow:
Tuition fees will be paid to Université Côte d'Azur and will also cover student insurance and joint education activities.
