Learning by Research

The Doctoral College welcomes 3000 PhD students, 43% of whom are international within its 13 Doctoral Schools. Spearheading the Université Grenoble Alpes, a world-class research university, the Doctoral College relies on a scientific, innovative and dynamic ecosystem, with the presence in particular of research organizations from major European instrument manufacturers, its proximity to CERN, as well as that of major companies.

Located in the heart of the mountains, the Doctoral College has a PhD House (Maison du doctorat) which brings together all the doctoral schools and the services of the Collège (registration, graduation, career center, training, international relations, ...), as well as a space of conviviality and work for PhD students, meeting rooms for the thesis jury and an auditorium for thesis defense.
