The Doctoral College welcomes 3,000 doctoral students, 47% of whom are international within its 13 Doctoral Schools.

Spearheading Université Grenoble Alpes, the Doctoral College relies on a scientific, innovative and dynamic ecosystem, with the presence in particular of research organizations (CEA, CNRS, Inria, Inserm, INRAE, IRD), the implementation of major European instruments (ESRF, ILL, EMBL, IRAM, EMFL) and its proximity to CERN, as well as those of major companies (ST, Schneider Electric, Air Liquide, Soitec, BD, Roche, POMA, Vicat, Trixell, ARaymond, PETZL, Sofradir, Radial, ATOS, Cap Gemini, HPE…).

Resolutely international with 47% of its doctoral students being foreigners, the Université Grenoble Alpes Doctoral College pays particular attention to welcoming and accompanying doctoral students at all stages of the process. Moreover, as a world-class university, the UGA develops research in cooperation with the whole world and intends to enable all its doctoral students to develop their collaborations.

Located in the heart of the mountains, the Doctoral College has a PhD House which brings together in the same place a range of services from registration to defense, including a convivial space for doctoral students, combining quality of life, interdisciplinarity and a spirit of openness to the world.
