Enrollment in a thematic program is complementary to enrollment in a Master’s program. Each thematic program brings together several Master’s tracks and/or engineering cycles, creating an interdisciplinary research approach right from the Master’s level.
Once admitted to a thematic program, some of your Master’s courses (Unité d’Enseignement, UE) will be replaced by program-specific courses, totaling at least 6 ECTS per year.
