Enrolment in the 3rd cycle LMD doctorate

Enrolment in the first year of the doctorate is granted by the head of the institution on the proposal of the scientific bodies of the faculty concerned, after the opinion of the thesis supervisor. It is renewed at the start of each academic year.

Administrative enrolment is handled by the central enrolment service at the vice-rectorate for postgraduate studies.

The doctoral candidate collects the doctoral enrolment application form, together with the list of required documents, from the faculty’s postgraduate service. The completed form, signed by the thesis supervisor, is to be returned to the faculty’s postgraduate student records service.

That service checks that the file is administratively valid and forwards it to the vice-deanship for submission to the scientific bodies. A file accepted by the scientific council is forwarded to the vice-rectorate for signature of the first-year enrolment certificate.
