PhD in Sciences and Engineering

The PhDs in Science and Engineering are consolidated within the Doctoral School of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris which hosts around 900 doctoral students, supervised by more than 800 researchers (including 550 HDRs).

Research rely on its 30 high-end laboratories (UMR CNRS, INRIA, CEA...), which offers a very important scientific strike force, demonstrated by their great national and international reputation and the high level of recognition achieved by the most eminent researchers.

In addition to the academic environment of excellence, the students also benefit from rich industrial connections (THALES, EDF, DANONE, etc.), allowing the development of industrial partnership in particular with industrial R&D laboratories in Saclay.

Institut Polytechnique de Paris offers doctoral training through the research component ranging from basic research to applied research.

The doctoral school of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris is extremely open to international recruitment: currently, foreign doctoral students represent 45% of Ph.D. students.

The Ph.D. program prepares students for successful scientific career opportunities (research, teaching, project management, etc.) in universities and the private sector.
