Graduate programmes : an integrated master-doctorate pathway

Nantes University offers new training programmes - Graduate Programmes (GP), which are supported by research laboratories and offer an integrated master's-doctorate pathway. These research-based training programmes are proposed in each of the following Graduate Schools:

Graduate School Matter, Molecules, Materials and Geosciences (3MG)
