Doctoral training

Doctoral training is a 60-credit course that doctoral students must successfully complete before they can defend their thesis. It includes 3 categories: thematic training (minimum 15 credits), cross-disciplinary training (minimum 10 credits) and scientific production (minimum 25 credits).

This training does not necessarily include courses. Other activities may be included, such as a stay abroad, participation in a conference, presentation of a seminar or publication of scientific articles. The doctoral student may be exempted (credited) from part of his or her training based on his or her curriculum vitae, but rarely from all of it.

Some examples of doctoral training activities:

Thematic training: Courses and seminars organized by the doctoral school.
Cross-disciplinary training: Languages, research stays, training courses, didactic supervision, etc.
Scientific production: publication of an article as principal author, guest lecturer, etc.

The 2024-2025 soft-skills training catalog is now online, and the registration form is open.
