Framing
Your academics contract requires a minimum of 120 hours of academics during the preparation of your full-time thesis(50 hours for a part-time thesis).
Depending on your professional situation (USMB fixed-term contract,part-time, full-time, CIFRE thesis, ADEM thesis, INRAE thesis, co-supervision), 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.
Training
scientific
Proposed by your doctoral school
Scientific training courses enable doctoral students to explore new scientific fields useful to their research work, and to acquire a broader scientific culture in the areas covered by the École SIE.
Cross-disciplinary training
Proposed by your doctoral school or college
A set of modules providing more general insights into research and major societal issues.
Training
Proposed by the doctoral college
All the academics modules to prepare doctoral students for their professional careers.
The breakdown between scientific training, cross-disciplinary training and vocational training is not given to allow any freedom or flexibility, even if a certain balance of 40HF for each type is obviously desirable.
