Apply to ParisTech
ParisTech Grandes Ecoles offer quality support for students who want to learn how to create innovative knowledge, tools and methods. They strive to make the doctorate one of the standout products in their educational and research programs, both in terms of international academic excellence and as a reference for the socio-economic environment.
The ParisTech Grandes Ecoles’ doctoral programs provide guarantees:
- to employers: scientific excellence, selection of subjects and candidates, and increased awareness of the business world and industrial partnerships, and
- to doctoral candidates, by offering financial assistance over three years and supervisory staff who are concerned about the scientific quality and professional prospects.
More than 600 thesis are defended every year based on work carried out in the laboratories at ParisTech Grandes Ecoles. The designated teams apply the following three principles: teaching, academic excellence and close ties to applications in industry and services.
The thesis application and candidate selection processes vary depending on the Doctoral School the designated laboratory belongs to. Candidates are invited to initially contact a laboratory to get a better understanding of the research subject and potentially to contact a thesis supervisor. To do this they can peruse the list of thesis projects offered or examine the list of designated teams, classified by colleges.
Candidates may also fill this form. Their application form will then be forwarded to laboratories that may be interested in.
