The Thesis: in France, PhD studies correspond to a research training course leading to the degree of Doctor. It is prepared in three years.

The PhD is a real professional experience, allowing to open up to other practices such as management and communication. It allows access to careers in public or private research, but also in all sectors that require a spirit of analysis and synthesis, rigour, autonomy, creativity, perseverance and the implementation of complex issues. The preparation of a PhD is a demanding work that involves different actors and engages the PhD student in high-level scientific research. More information.
