PhD curriculum

PhD training courses

When registered in a doctoral school, PhD students are required to follow scientific and socioprofessional (transversal) training programs. In this context, the catalog of disciplinary courses of the HealthTech Master track will be made available to interested PhD students, on top of other scientific and multi-disciplinary training opportunities offered by doctoral schools. For doctoral students who would like to register in HealthTech Master track classes as part of their doctoral training program, please contact the HealthTech coordination team to see if the classes are open. 
 

PhD financial support

HealthTech PhD project funding includes:

  • up to 1000€ of small equipment per year of PhD
  • the funding of missions up to 4000€ over the 36 months of the doctoral contract

This complementary funding supports the investment in new pieces of equipment for PhD students' experiments, and allows them to participate to national and international conferences, covering transportation and accommodation costs.
 

Graduate teaching assistant positions

HealthTech offers PhD students the opportunity gain teaching experience through teaching assistant positions. PhD students are strongly encouraged to teach in HealthTech's Master track, or offer lectures in our partner institutions.
 

HealthTech ongoing PhD projects: 2021-2024

In the interest of promoting interdisciplinarity, all funded PhD projects are co-supervised by at least two research scientists from different disciplinary backgrounds.
