Admission requirements and thesis offers

Doctoral students have dual status as an employee and a student. They receive a minimum salary for 3 years and are registered as doctoral students at IMT Atlantique. They are also affiliated with the doctoral college related to their thesis topic and to a research laboratory.

Each year, IMT Atlantique offers a number of selective doctoral contracts, both in France and in dual supervision programs abroad, as well as the possibility of being recruited via European calls for projects (such as LOWCOMOTE).

If you have a research master's degree, an international master's degree, a graduate engineering diploma, or equivalent studies abroad and you are motivated by our specialties, please consult our current thesis offers.

Each year we propose 70-75 thesis offers.

Sciences and business

All of our PhD students benefit from scientific supervision along with additional disciplinary or interdisciplinary training in conjunction with the University Research Establishments (EUR) and Doctoral Colleges (ED) and training courses offered by the doctoral colleges of the Brest-Nantes-Rennes sites. IMT Atlantique is a major contributor to the training courses on offer, particularly in the areas of entrepreneurship, support for professional projects and the skills needed in the workplace (communication, marketing and management, project management, patent development, software, languages, etc.)

Lecturer-researcher roles

All of our PhD students benefit from pedagogical support from the CARAE pedagogical center to help them get to grips with teaching. If you are a trainee at the ENS, for example, you can teach in our engineering or master's courses and validate your agrégation.
