PhD: Taking Charge of Your Learning Path

PhD: Taking Charge of Your Learning Path

A PhD degree enables students to acquire and develop high-level professional skills in a variety of fields, including research, innovation, project management, communication, and the commercialization of research results…

Creating and regularly updating a skills portfolio, developed throughout the doctoral program, makes it possible to track the acquisition of skills.

This approach is based on a careful selection of courses that align with your career plan and aims to organize, highlight, and apply the skills acquired during your dissertation to help you move forward after completing your dissertation.

Doctoral training complements research activities and must total at least 120 hours, ideally divided equally among:
  • disciplinary training (1/3),
  • interdisciplinary training (1/3)
  • training focused on career development (1/3).
We invite you to browse the courses offered in the catalog below, check their availability, and register via the ADUM software.

Cross-functional Training
Cross-disciplinary training is not specific to your field of research and covers topics such as the researcher’s environment, teaching, digital tools, languages, research ethics, major societal challenges, communication, and outreach.
Disciplinary Training
Disciplinary courses are related to your field of research—whether in terms of scientific content, the tools needed to conduct your research, or other aspects. These courses are offered through your doctoral school.
Training and Services for Career Development
To help you plan your post-dissertation career path, the Doctoral College offers personalized support, meetings with industry professionals, and practical activities and training to ensure you are fully prepared for your career development.
Non-Catalog Courses and Extracurricular Activities
It is possible to enrich one’s doctoral program by taking courses outside the catalog offered by the College or the doctoral schools. These courses may be recognized as training hours, as may certain special circumstances, such as holding an elected office, a jointly supervised dissertation, or other activities recognized as part of the doctoral program.
