Training courses

As a doctoral student enrolled in the Sciences Ingénierie Environnement (SIE) Doctoral School, you are required to take 120 hours (50 hours for part-time students) of training during the preparation of your thesis.

Depending on your professional situation (USMB fixed-term contract, part-time, full-time, CIFRE thesis, ADEM thesis, INRAE thesis, cotutelle), you can choose from several possible career paths to suit your profile.

 

Standard routes

The distribution of hours has been designed to offer you a range of skills adapted to your profile.

Equivalents

Complementary activities - such as teaching or attending conferences - are possible and may give rise to equivalent hours at academics.

Table of equivalents
