The ICFP Master is a top-level program designed specifically for the best French and international students.
By choosing the École normale supérieure (ENS), students are assured of benefiting from the prestigious teaching that has made the ENS's reputation since its creation in 1794.
PSL’s quantum engineering programme is a 2-year program that provides cutting-edge training. It is spread over two years and 120 ECTS, requesting full-time studies.
Quantum technologies are a strategic global topic for academia and industry. These disruptive technologies have the potential to revolutionise the design and implementation of information and communication sciences and technologies. France is investing nearly €2 billion in this field over the next four years.
A new interdisciplinary training programme in quantum technologies has been launched by PSL University in September 2022. It results from an unprecedented synergy between some of its founding schools, namely: Ecole normale supérieure, ESPCI Paris, Mines Paris, École nationale supérieure de Chimie de Paris - PSL and the Observatoire de Paris, and it is part of PSL’s graduate programme in physics.
The academic year is divided into two semesters.
The second year is organized into four tracks: Condensed matter physics, Soft matter and biological physics, Quantum physics: From the foundations to quantum technologies, and Theoretical physics.
The second year is organized as follows:
Note: The students will have to choose between different optical courses in the first semester
Students wishing to specialize in astronomy and astrophysics can enroll in the second year of the "Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Engineering" Master's program, jointly organized by 5 institutions in the Paris region: Observatoire de Paris and Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris (PSL), Sorbonne University, Université de Paris Cité, and Université Paris-Saclay. The Master proposes two tracks : "Astrophysique" et "Dynamique des systèmes gravitationnels", et forme une quarantaine d’étudiants par an.
These courses cover topics in macroscopic physics, nonequilibrium phenomena, fluid dynamics, nonlinear waves and patterns generated by instability. The mathematical framework includes dynamical systems, partial differential equations, and stochastic processes. These courses are now offered as part of various master’s programs in Paris.
