Preparing your project
Making an informed choice
To be considered for a doctorate, you must hold a French research Master's degree (as of October 1 of the year of the competition) or an equivalent diploma.
It's important to get the facts before making a three-year commitment, or giving up a doctorate simply because you don't know what you're doing.
To make an informed choice, it is essential to:
- Understand the specificity and benefits of academics through research.
- Anticipate difficulties to avoid dropping out and make the most of the advantages of academics .
- Be a real player in your professional future.
You can contact the director of the SIE school (dir.edsie@univ-smb.fr) or the laboratories, who will be able to answer your questions.
There are also associations that can help you with this, by answering your questions or offering avant-thèse training courses.
The Bernard Gregory Association, for example, offers a academics avant-thèse.
