Chemistry
Inspired by international graduate schools, the Chemistry graduate programme brings together the strengths of PSL University at master's and doctoral level in various fields of chemistry, from its fundamentals to its applications. By networking the key players from the various PSL institutions (ENSCP – PSL, ENS – PSL, ESPCI Paris-PSL, Institut Curie and Collège de France), the Chemistry graduate programme develops a variety of initiatives: training through research and personalised study paths, interdisciplinarity, and the internationalisation of curricula and career opportunities. Backed by the best laboratories and teams at PSL University, the graduate programmes strengthen the links between master's and doctoral programmes and create new opportunities for student and scientific communities.
