Co-accreditated Doctoral Schools

Validated by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, in conjunction with research teams, doctoral schools train future doctors. They offer them an environment and high-level training for 3 years, until obtaining the thesis.

INSA Lyon is co-accredited for 8 Doctoral Schools (ED) in life sciences, exact sciences and human and social sciences. It is responsible for two of them: MEGA and Materials.
