The objective of the UGA Graduate School (GS@UGA) is to meet tomorrow’s scientific and societal challenges to create a better future. The UGA Graduate School (GS@UGA) is a structuring and transdisciplinary programme that prepares French and international students, through the two-year Master's programme, for doctoral research or direct professional integration.

The UGA Graduate School (GS@UGA) aims to structure training through research via thematic programmes focused on scientific and/or societal issues. GS@UGA federates 15 postgraduate courses, without adding diplomas, in order to gain in legibility to improve attractiveness and international recruitment, via a proactive policy of study grants.

5 of these 15 thematic programs are housed in the Faculty of Sciences:

Extreme

Physics of extremes: from the frontiers of knowledge to societal applications

The program focuses on researching the infinitely small (elementary constituents and their interactions), quantum matter, as well as the infinitely large and the origin of the universe, stars and planets. 

MSTIC

Mathematics, information, and communication sciences

The MSTIC program is for students interested in pursuing a research oriented master of science curriculum in mathematics or computer science. It proposes a diverse set of high level courses on cutting edge, topics and a 2 years pre-doctoral long research project that typically, leads to a phD.

Quantum

Quantum information, quantum engineering, quantum computing, quantum devices, quantum materials

The Quantum thematic program offers specific high-level training at the Master’s level on the quantum properties of devices, matter and light. This program is incorporated into several UGA Master’s programs and engineer school pathways.

Soft Nano

Soft matter, interfaces with the living world, nanomaterials and nano-objects

The Soft Nano program aims to provide training through research in the fields of physical chemistry of soft matter and nanomaterials. It relies in particular on long internships in laboratories and on the ESONN European School.

Terra

Energy Transition, Socio-ecological transition, Socio-ecosystems, Global Change, Human and Social Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Environmental humanities

Within the Terra curricular, we will train the next generation of natural resources managers, whether they are geologists, hydrologists, climatologists, urban planners, historians or economists, to risks and opportunities in the energy transition in Europe.
