Beginning of the academic year
The academic year will begin on Monday, September 4th, 2023.
Planning, Tracks, Courses 2023-2024
Plannings will be available for each track soon below :
- Systems biology, genomics and bioinformatics Coordinator : Alice LEBRETON
- Neurosciences Coordinator : Mariano CASADO
- Ecology and evolution Coordinator : Henrique TEOTONIO
- Fundamental biology for health Coordinators : Olivier COLLIN/Morgane THOMAS-CHOLLIER
The first semester (30 ECTS) is mainly devoted to courses following one of the tracks. Sub-tracks are proposed for further specialization. Cross-sampling between tracks is still possible, provided faculty are in agreement.
In all cases, students will have to validate their study program with their track coordinator before the beginning of the year.
Other courses at ENS-PSL
Students can combine courses from the tracks with other selected courses from ENS-PSL.

Other courses at PSL and partner institutes
See list of other PSL courses and partner institutes.
Internship
The second semester is spent completing a 5-month internship with an academic or industry research group, in France or exceptionally abroad.
According to the courses chosen by the student, it can start between the beginning of November and the beginning of February at the latest but it cannot be shorter than 20 weeks. This internship can be considered as a prelude to a PhD thesis.
Choice of the laboratory :
The host lab is chosen together with the teaching staff.
Enrolled students will have access to a list of proposed internships. This include internships from partner laboratories (PSL laboratories) and from other historical partners, i.e. Sorbonne Université, Université Paris Cité, or others high level French research institutions. If the chosen internship does not belong to our portfolio, it has to be validated by the teaching team.
Student recipient of the Qlife or the Memolife scholarship have to chose their internship laboratory among the Qlife or the Memolife laboratories, respectively.
– Memolife laboratories
– Qlife laboratories
Internship in other laboratories may eventually be arranged in agreement with the teaching staff.
Evaluation of the laboratory training :
To validate their internship, students submit a written report and defend their results in front of a jury at the end of June.
