Master 1
The graduate programme ‘Connective Tissue Diseases’ aims at the acquisition of subspecialised theoretical knowledge in the field of connective tissue diseases, as well as offering an introduction to research.
The first year of training includes the on-site participation in various national and international events (congress, reference networks, seminars), enabling candidates to develop their knowledge of French and, to a larger extent, European networks in the field.
The CTD programme’s training is mainly provided online (distance-learning).
3O ECTS are delivered for the completion of previous university studies, primarily medical studies completed in France or abroad.
