The Sorbonne University Alliance launches its Executive Education programme

Sorbonne University, the National Museum of Natural History, the University of Technology of Compiègne, France Éducation International and the Pôle supérieur d’enseignement artistique Paris-Boulogne-Billancourt, join forces in the Sorbonne University Alliance’s Executive Education programme. This initiative consolidates over 700 continuing education courses, underpinned by 160 research units, to provide professional training to 10,000 professionals annually.

A programme of academic excellence

Leveraging its academic expertise and robust research heritage, the Sorbonne University Alliance provides a comprehensive range of innovative and modular programmes designed for lifelong learning. This new offer is tailored to meet the needs of professionals pursuing career advancement, human resources departments seeking bespoke workforce development, and civil servants facing new professional requirements.

“Our programme stands out for its diversity, its interdisciplinary approach and its ability to bring together several fields of expertise, such as health and the humanities and social sciences, or artificial intelligence and the humanities,” says Juliette Dross, Deputy Vice-President for Continuing Education and Apprenticeships at Sorbonne University.

Formats tailored to current needs

Specifically designed for skill development, career mobility and career advancement, this programme includes short courses in French  , modular pathways and micro-certifications. It aims to provide a practical solution for specialisation requirements in a specific field of expertise or for a career change.

“Particular attention is paid to executives, managers and decision-makers who wish to progress to senior management roles,” explains Cécile Jahan, Director of Continuing Learning at Sorbonne University.

A lever for organisations

Drawing on the extensive expertise and pedagogical excellence of its faculty, the Sorbonne University Alliance provides a tailored solution to meet the evolving needs of businesses, public institutions and individual professionals.
