The opportunities: why take a PhD degree course in ICS?

During your PhD degree course (three years unless dispensed), you will become specialised in a domain,
work on a specific subject of scientific research and acquire scientific knowledge. You will work individually under the supervision of your research director.
You will also attend group courses in the doctoral school (EPIC) to which you will be assigned, organised around four main themes:

1. Methodological training and theoretical training (given during courses, training courses, conferences and disciplinary and interdisciplinary study days)
2. A training course in producing and publishing a thesis
3. Preparation for entry into professional life
4. National and international openings
