Master's scholarships : Scholarships for international students are available on a competitive basis. A call is open for the next academic 2023-2024 for the award of several scholarships dedicated to excellent international students from the Graduate School programs Quantum and Soft Nanosciences. The scholarships amount to 16,000 € and cover the tuition fees and living expenses for the two years of the Master's program. Application procedure and deadline are indicated in the dedicated page of each program.
Formation through research
The Master's program Nanosciences Nanotechnologies builds on the strength of the Grenoble research community to provide a strong formation through research. A significant portion of the second-year courses are taught by researchers of the partner institutes. The standard curriculum contains more than 7 months of full-time research internships:
- the M1 research internship of minimum 8 weeks (May-June)
- the M2 master thesis of minimum 5 months (February-June)
In addition, the Research Intensive Training offers students the possibility of extending their internships with a continuous immersion in the labs in parallel to their courses, thanks to elective modules. Following this training, students can prepare actively a continuation in PhD.
Research internship allowance : According to French law, internships must be covered by a convention de stage. During the internship, the research institute pays the student an allowance of 590€/month, for a maximum duration of 6 months per academic year.
