The PSL Weeks program allows Master’s students to spend two weeks (one in November and one in March) at any PSL institution of their choice (Mines Paris, ESPCI, Chimie Paris, Dauphine, ENS and others) to take courses outside their main field of study.
Students can choose from more than 130 courses in 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.
