Life Sciences
Inspired by international graduate schools, the Life Sciences graduate program brings together the strengths of PSL University in the life sciences. By networking the actors of the various PSL institutions (ENS-PSL, EPHE-PSL, Collège de France, ESPCI Paris-PSL, Institut Curie), and the Q-LIFE Convergence Institute [add link], the Life Sciences graduate program develops a variety of initiatives: training through research and personalized study paths, interdisciplinarity, and the internationalization of curricula and career opportunities. Backed by the best laboratories and teams at PSL University, the graduate programs strengthen the links between master's and doctoral programs and create new opportunities for student and scientific communities.
