Graduate Program in Life Sciences
The Graduate Program offers a comprehensive curriculum of advanced study and research, from the Master's to the Doctorate degree, in the life sciences. Through its association with PSL research laboratories, five Laboratories of Excellence (LabEx) and PSL’s Q-LIFE Institute, the graduate program offers Master’s degrees in which research plays a central role. Students may also choose elective courses designed to improve their transdisciplinary skills and broaden their curriculum.
