Thus, the Greek institution marks another significant collaboration with multiple benefits that will further strengthen its international orientation. ![](/storage/files/hub-en-sorbonne.jpg) UoA © 2024. All Rights Reserved During their meeting at the beginning of February, the representatives of the two institutions pointed out the completion of the preparations for the joint French- taught Postgraduate Programme (Joint Master’s Degree) of Sorbonne University and the NKUA’s Department of French Language and Literature (starting the next academic year).
