PhD

 

Regional post-graduate schools for doctoral studies have been re-organised in order to provide specific local orientations as well as programme homogeneity for students. The local doctoral school draws from the expertise of Le Mans Université research laboratories to provide transversal scientific projects and events, notably with a view to prepare students for professional integration.

 

Le Mans Université research teams welcome around 260 doctoral students every year. The legal duration of a French doctoral degree is 3 years for students being granted specific funding.
