PSL’s quantum engineering programme is a 2-year program that provides cutting-edge training. It is spread over two years and 120 ECTS, requesting full-time studies. 

Quantum technologies are a strategic global topic for academia and industry. These disruptive technologies have the potential to revolutionise the design and implementation of information and communication sciences and technologies. France is investing nearly €2 billion in this field over the next four years.

A new interdisciplinary training programme in quantum technologies has been launched by PSL University in September 2022. It results from an unprecedented synergy between some of its founding schools, namely: Ecole normale supérieure, ESPCI Paris, Mines Paris, École nationale supérieure de Chimie de Paris - PSL and the Observatoire de Paris, and it is part of PSL’s graduate programme in physics.

After the master

This Master program leads to a large number of opportunities, especially:

  • Private sector (Industry, Finance)
  • Research
  • Entrepreneurship
General information
  • Administrative registration

Under contruction

  • Visa and residence permit

You don't need to apply for a student visa if you are a citizen of the European Economic Area (EU), Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland or the Vatican. Since the 1st January 2021, British citizens must apply for a visa to study in France.

However, if you are not a citizen of the European Union, you will need to apply for a "VLS-TS" visa (Visa de Long Séjour pour études-Titre de Séjour).

- If you are a citizen from a country with a CEF (Etudes en France) procedure, you must apply via Études en France.

 Check if your home country is concerned by the CEF procedure and if so, apply through the Campus France website

- If you are a citizen from a country not concerned by the CEF procedure, the French consular authorities in your country of residence will advise you on the procedure for the visa application to follow.

  • Information for international students

 Here, you find a brief explanation on the french academic system.

There are three French university degrees: the licence (bachelor’s), the master and the doctorat (PhD). 
- The licence is prepared in three years after obtaining the baccalauréat (high-school degree). 
- The master is prepared in two years: M1 (first year of master) and M2 (second year of master). 
- The doctorat is usually prepared in three years.

Students can enrol in M1 in one university and in M2 in another one. Traditionally, many french students attend M1 in the same university or grande école in which they got the licence. 

During the M2, students choose the PhD subject and the supervisor, and apply for fellowships. The are several types of PhD contracts, some based on fellowships by the French Ministry of Education, some funded by research grants, 
and also by private companies and foundations.
