Are you a doctoral candidate or in the middle of your doctoral career? Here you'll find the information you need to build your career.
The doctoral path
The doctoral curriculum comprises six compulsory stages: admission to the doctorate, registration, confirmation stage, constitution of a thesis jury, private defense and public defense.
These stages are supplemented by doctoral training, which essentially consists of specific activities linked to the profession of researcher. It leads to the award of a certificate of research training (certificat de formation à la recherche), representing a lump sum of 60 training credits.
Two doctoral orientation commissions (commissions doctorales d'orientation - CDO) are responsible for validating the various stages of the doctoral program, in compliance with the university's doctoral regulations.
