Application for a doctoral contract is made in three phases:

1. Digital submission of files on a dedicated form to the doctoral secretariat.

2. Eligibility phase

• The host research unit decides on the eligibility of candidates (favorable - unfavorable to the candidate's audition).

3. Admission phase

The Doctoral School Council bases its decision on 7 pre-established criteria.

The criteria used by jury members to assess the research project relate to:

.

2. The project's relevance to the candidate's career path and doctoral supervision (thesis director and research unit)
