About

Pasteur-Paris University International Doctoral Program offered by the Institut Pasteur prepares students for an exciting and competitive career in scientific research, through the development of a research project,  participation to academic courses, and professional development trainings. The requested duration for a PhD in France is three years.

Overview

The Pasteur-Paris University International Doctoral Program program from Institut Pasteur  has its primary foundations based on scientific research. Students benefit from the highest training in conducting state-of-the-art research by mentorship, active planning and execution, as well as discussion of results with their Ph.D advisors and other leading scientists. A very dense scheduling of lectures and seminars by world renowned scientists, together with congresses and workshops, are also part of the exposure to ideas and data that students will experience on campus.

Luncheons

The PPU program staff is fully committed to building a strong network within each incoming class of students, and between all students in the program as a whole as well as with students and scientists of the campus. For that purpose, several informal meetings  are organized to give the students a chance to discuss with the members of the PPU Program Committee and PPU office on individual questions and challenges or unforeseen difficulties encountered.

Programme Structure

Academic training:

  • Oral presentation workshop:
  • Journal Club
  • Scientific Integrity and Ethics Training courses
  • French language courses
  • To learn how to organize a symposium, students of the II° year are in charge of the organization of the annual retreat for all PPU students

Other requirements

General requirements

  • Master degree or an equivalent university degree in science, medicine or related fields delivered by a university located outside of France, by the time that the students begin the program. For PPU Research and Technology (PPU-R&T), a French Master is also accepted.
  • In France, a master degree corresponds to five years of academic education
  • Students holding a B.A. or a B.S. acquired after four years of academic education may be considered if they have additional laboratory experience of at least 6 months, with a written final report or a publication.
  • Students who already have begun doctoral training elsewhere and students with a master's degree obtained in France are not eligible, due to our agreements with the doctoral schools of the Paris Universities.

  • The PPU program is entirely run in English, thus although there is no formal language test requirement, an very good command in English is  mandatory.

  • Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
  • Liability
  • Home contents and baggage
