Framing
Your doctoral program requires a minimum of 120 hours of academics during the preparation of your full-time thesis(50 hours for a part-time or CIFRE thesis).
Depending on your professional situation, you can choose from a number of different career paths.
Each pathway has a different breakdown of academics hours into 3 main types: scientific training, cross-disciplinary training and professional training.
