The three universities that make up the A2U (universities of Artois, of the Opal Coast Coast and Picardy Jules Verne) all have the particularity of being both multipolar and multidisciplinary. The three of them, these universities bring together more than 50 000 students, they are aimed at 61% of the population and cover 87 % of the regional territory.
This alliance offers the opportunity for the three establishments that make it up to bring out and share the best practices of each, whether in terms of innovation and technology transfer, teaching, research, initial and continuing training, of skills development, or educational innovation.
However, it is a collaborative approach that preserves the identity and autonomy of each establishment.
The A2U Doctoral Schools
Doctoral schools provide doctoral students with a high-level working environment and training during the three years of preparing their thesis..
These schools ensure the scientific quality of the theses produced and their smooth running., by supporting international mobility in particular (mobility grants, support for joint supervision) and by offering a transversal and transdisciplinary training program (including a module on research ethics and scientific integrity). They manage admissions and educational pathways for doctoral students..
Each doctoral school is headed by a teacher-researcher, assisted by one or more assistants, and advice.

The SHS doctoral school benefits from a well-identified scientific positioning supported by strong research potential..
Currently, the ED-SHS brings together a coherent set of 26 multidisciplinary research units.
EDS
The Doctoral School of Sciences, Technology and Health (EDS) is a structure of the A2U Alliance which includes the universities of Artois, the University of Picardie Jules Verne and the University of Littoral Côte d’Opale. It brings together 44 Research units 6 establishments in the HdF region (UA, ULCO, UPJV, Unilasalle, Ifremer, CONSIDERED).
The ED STS is structured in 4 domains : Materials and energy storage, Mathematics, digital tools and Sciences for Engineers, Agro-sciences, green chemistry and sustainable development, Health. With its broad disciplinary spectrum, The ED STS offers training in and through research in 120 specialties to doctoral students registered in one of the 3 A2 alliance universities.
The doctoral course allows you to obtain the internationally recognized doctor’s degree.. It is the highest diploma in the LMD system. Only students holding a national master's degree or a diploma of equivalent level can apply for this very selective training and obtain a bac+8.
