Doctorate

Students from the École Normale Supérieure who have completed the DER GCE and wish to pursue a thesis at Paris-Saclay University are enrolled in one of the four doctoral schools of the Graduate School of Engineering and Systems Sciences, which offers future doctoral candidates, among other things:

• training in research and through research in the University’s laboratories (including those at the ENS),

• supplementary disciplinary training, based in particular on the Graduate School’s master’s programs,

• general education through specific modules,

• meetings with future employers,

• seminars.
