PhD studies
It is possible to continue studying with a PhD at Sciences Po Lyon after the 5th year.
Sciences Po Lyon is responsible for the academic and administrative management of the PhD in political science bringing together Lyon 2 and Lyon 3 Universities, Jean-Monnet Saint-Étienne University and the École Nationale Supérieure.
International students can apply for a PhD in political science (or in any of the other disciplines taught at Sciences Po Lyon, notably economics, law, history, information and communication) and be supervised by a member of teaching staff from Sciences Po Lyon or any other of the institutes within the group.
They can also apply for doctoral contracts (a three-year funding for a PhD), which are awarded each year by the corresponding Doctoral School board.
Theses can be drafted in French or in a foreign language (notably English) in accordance with terms and conditions set forth by the Doctoral School. Jointly supervised theses are possible with foreign institutes. These are jointly managed on each site.
Policy Response to International PhD Students' Mobility in France
Immigration, europeanization, internationalization.
- Farkhad Alimukhamedov Sciences Po Toulouse
- Teele Tõnismann Adoc Talent Management
France, among top countries for doctorate abroad, grapples with labor market challenges for its 39 percent international PhD candidates. Despite alignment with EU’s strategies, disparities persist, because integration of international PhDs into the domestic labor market involves not only research and development but also migration policies. Policy analysts and decision makers must address this complexity for international PhDs, fostering diversity and knowledge-based economies in the EU and OECD.
