Frequently asked questions - all about the DNM2IP
Prerequisites
It is recommended to hold a bachelor's degree (3 academic years) in life sciences for most of our MOOCs. This pre-requisite ensures a sufficient level to pass the exam of each MOOC. However, it is possible to register for the DNM2IP without having this degree in life sciences, as the MOOCs are intended to be open to anyone wishing to train on these subjects. It is recommended that students without a Bachelor in life sciences, who wish to follow the qualifying path, verify that the scientific level of the MOOC is accessible, by answering the weekly quizzes, before paying the registration fee. MOOCs are mostly in English. They are all subtitled in French / English. In addition, a script in English and French is made available for each video. The provisional MOOC calendar is available on this page: www.pasteur.fr/fr/DNM2IP This calendar allows you to plan the time you will have to devote to the follow-up of the courses, and the timeline of the exams. The Institut Pasteur regularly produces new MOOCs which can be added to the list proposed under the DNM2IP. Likewise, a MOOC can be removed from this list temporarily or permanently, if it requires an update of the scientific content. Learners registered for this or these MOOCs are informed by email, and can choose another MOOC in the DNM2IP program.
