PhD

The doctorate is one of the highlights of the training and research activities in the ParisTech schools.

It is a standard because of its internationally recognized academic excellence and because of its position in the socio-economic environment. High-quality support is provided for students wanting to be trained in knowledge, tools and innovative method production. They benefit in particular from financial support over three years and supervision and advice on questions of scientific quality and professional perspectives.

Employers have the guarantee that ParisTech doctors will be educated to the highest of standards, having undergone rigorous selection procedures, having worked on fields relevant to the needs of industry and the services and showing a sharp awareness of company culture and industrial partners.

Over 500 theses per year benefit from research work undertaken in the ParisTech school laboratories, most of which have far-reaching collaborative agreements with other institutions and universities.

The degrees are awarded by ParisTech schools or by partner institutions and universities cooperating within the framework of Doctoral Schools.

All of the laboratories are committed to three driving principles: excellence in teaching, academic excellence in research and strong connections with industry and the services.
