The doctoral schools organise the education of future doctors of engineering and prepare them for their professional lives. The schools provide students with a multidisciplinary setting as part of coherent scientific studies. They ensure doctoral programmes are aligned with international standards and are made attractive to potential candidates. The schools also participate in the development of facilities.
The doctoral schools coordinate the admission of new doctoral students, their re-enrolment and the authorisations for defending theses.

EDML - Materials Lyon - ED 34
EDML relies on the scientific expertise of 11 joint research units (UMR) that pursue a diverse range of activities, from the characterisation and fabrication of materials (study of a material’s microstructure and properties) to the modelling of their behaviour. The materials studied can be structural materials (metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers, composites), functional materials (for example, those used in electronics and optoelectronics) or synthetic or organic materials (including those studied in geology and biology).
Director: Stéphane BENAYOUN
Accredited jointly by 3 Lyon institutions
- École Centrale de Lyon.
- Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1.
- INSA Lyon.

INFOMATHS - Computer Science and Mathematics - ED 512
InfoMaths has over 300 researchers, of whom 140 are authorised to supervise research studies. These investigators are attached to seven laboratories that are recognised by the French Ministry of Research, the CNRS and the INRIA.
InfoMaths includes over 360 doctoral students and awards an average of 90 doctorates each year.
Director: Hamamache KHEDDOUCI
Accredited jointly by five Lyon institutions
- École Centrale de Lyon.
- ENS Lyon.
