Graduate schools

Study and research programmes take place in 17 different Graduate Schools and an Institute for Sciences of the Light

Our Graduate Schools and Institute cover three broad sectors: Science and Engineering, Life Sciences and Health, Human & Social Sciences.
These coordinated sets of Master's degrees, study and research programmes, and doctoral schools bring together teams that each work on a particular well-defined subject, discipline or mission. Their purpose is to give visibility to degrees, promoting their value, as well as to graduates and research activities both nationally and internationally, while also developing synergies and collaborations between academic players.
