The PSL Weeks program allows Master’s students to study for two weeks (one week in November and one week in March) at any PSL institution of their choice (Mines Paris, ESPCI, Chimie Paris, Dauphine, ENS, and others), allowing them to explore topics outside their main field of study.
Students can choose from more than 130 courses in subjects as diverse as physics, economics, biology, chemistry, computer science, data science, AI, humanities, history and art. Participation in PSL Weeks is often required to complete a PSL minor.
Each PSL-week course is worth 2 ECTS credits.
