Presentation
In September 2014, the University of Montpellier opened a Master 2 course entitled "Expertise in Gerontology" - IDEFI-TIL (Initiative d'Excellence en Formations Innovantes -Trans Innov Longévité).
This Master's degree is 80% e-learning (recorded courses accessible via a platform) and 20% face-to-face. Each student benefits from individual tutoring by a practicing professional in the sector, with whom the student is in close contact throughout the year. E-learning enables practicing professionals and people geographically distant from the university to benefit from high-quality university teaching.
This Master 2 is co-accredited with Université Pierre et Marie Curie Paris VI and coordinated by UNF3S (Université Numérique Francophone des Sciences de la Santé et du Sport).
The Trans-Innov-Longévité (TIL) project is a transdisciplinary inter-university system of excellence applied to the professions of longevity and autonomy, and is one of the winning projects under the IDEFI initiative of the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) Investissement d'Avenir program. It models an innovative system of cross-disciplinary inter-university training adapted to both initial training and lifelong learning. It leverages the potential of national and international university networks to create a system of excellence in training.
TIL promotes access for new target groups to new university degree courses, offering a wide variety of models and hybrid teaching paths, built on multi- and trans-disciplinary skills, around structured yet flexible pedagogical engineering. To achieve this, it builds a comprehensive offering, combining face-to-face and distance learning courses delivered by university lecturers who direct the masters courses and supervise and empower professionals from multidisciplinary fields, who act as trainer-tutors. TIL thus relies on a new pedagogical engineering strategy combining a database of digital teaching resources produced by academics and tutor-trainers.
TIL is a Master's-level university degree preparing students for positions of responsibility in gerontology in the health and medical-social sector, as well as for a wide range of other professions interfacing with gerontology. TIL is designed for the acquisition of multiple skills.

TIL is a Master's-level degree preparing students for positions of responsibility in gerontology in the health and medical-social sector, as well as for a wide range of other professions interfacing with gerontology. TIL is designed to enable the acquisition of multiple dual skills.
The Master 2 Expertise in Gerontology offers a choice of 3 courses:
- Research and training in gerontology course
- Housing and Spatial Planning for the Elderly pathway
- Management and coordination of services and structures course
The TIL Master's curriculum is made up of around twenty modules, some of which are compulsory, while others are adapted to the different professional training paths on offer. Each pathway comprises 10 modules of 30 hours each. These modules cover all the major topics in gerontology and longevity, so as to meet the diversity of the professions concerned and the expectations of students. This wide range of modules means that training courses can be tailored to students' skills, expectations and career plans. The inter-university IDEFI-TIL Master's program therefore offers a wide range of cross-disciplinary courses adapted to a heterogeneous student body.
Each student's course of study will be defined in consultation with the Master's supervisor, so as to identify the modules needed to achieve his or her professional project.
