Graduate programmes : an integrated master-doctorate pathway

Nantes University offers new training programmes - Graduate Programmes (GP), which are supported by research laboratories and offer an integrated master's-doctorate pathway. These research-based training programmes are proposed in each of the following Graduate Schools:

Graduate School Matter, Molecules, Materials and Geosciences (3MG)
Graduate School Health Sciences and Technologies (STS)
Graduate School Mathematics and Information and Communication Technologies (MASTIC)
Graduate School Engineering and Systems (SIS)

The ambition of the Graduate Programmes is to accompany students in a professionalized approach from Masters to Doctorate by strongly drawing on the expertise of internationally recognized research laboratories, as well as on international research networks. Students who wish to continue their training in doctoral studies will have the opportunity to apply for different fundings.
