Mechanics is a basic science allowing us to face the current challenges of our society such as energy, smart materials and systems, health, environment, climate, transportation. It thus bridges the gap between fundamental science and innovative technologies. This five-year PhD Track in Mechanics aims to train future researchers and engineers capable of responding to new challenges. It starts with a two-year period with advanced courses related to the chosen field of study. Students also participate in research projects carried out by Institut Polytechnique de Paris Laboratories involved in the track and attend high-level seminars. Supervised by experienced researchers, they thus benefit from first-class research experience. At the end of the second year, the students who meet the academic requirements receive a Master Degree. Those who have achieved outstanding results and identified a thesis subject and a supervisor in one of the involved Labs are allowed to start a three-year PhD program.
