Doing research at IP Paris
Learning: doctoral studies
By performing in-depth research work in a laboratory, a research doctorate enables the student to acquire a wide range of skills. Preparing a thesis is a professional project in its own right and represents the culmination of the academic training. It requires a high degree of autonomy, boldness and creativity, and also the ability to work as part of a team in an international and competitive environment. These assets are essential not only for top-flight researchers, but also for future managers in all areas of activity, in particular industry.
