The PSL Weeks program allows Masters students to study for two weeks (one week in November and one week in March) at any PSL institution of their choice (e.g., Mines Paris, ESPCI, Chimie Paris, Dauphine, ENS, etc.), 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, art, etc.

Participation in PSL Weeks is often required to complete a PSL minor.
