In fields with high development potential?
Enabling you to complete a prestigious doctoral thesis?
The Minerve Graduate Program of Excellence Model (GPEX) provides a 2-year opportunity to develop your scientific skills in the field of research, through a project-based approach, access to experimental or digital platforms, and the possibility of gradually immersing yourself in the laboratory, partially in M1 and totally in M2.
Once you have been selected for the GPEx course, you will benefit from:

- a scholarship for excellence in the first year of study (M1);
- funding for 2nd year immersion/apprenticeship in a research laboratory.
A Minerve University Diploma (DU) will also validate this course in addition to the Master’s degree.
