APPLICATIONS MUST BE COMPLETE IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED VALID

It is essential to submit an application regardless of the thesis topics you intend to apply for. The doctoral school board will meet to establish the list of eligible candidates, who will be notified by email.

Preselected candidates must then contact the project supervisors of their chosen topics with priority themes (if they have not already done so). Each laboratory will interview the candidates who have applied and will submit its ranking to the doctoral school board, which will establish the final list of selected candidates, as well as a waiting list.

Once admitted to the Doctoral School, you will need to complete your academic and administrative registration on ADUM.
