The doctoral schools attached to higher education institutions federate a set of research teams that are responsible for the training and future of doctoral students.
The main mission of the Doctoral College of the University of Montpellier (CD-UM) is to support doctoral students throughout their doctoral research activity by providing them with transversal professional training to help them identify their career plans, at the local, national and/or international level.
Prepared within a Doctoral School, the doctorate is training for and through research. The doctoral student's research work is carried out under the responsibility of a thesis director within a research unit.
In accordance with the decree of 25 May 2016 establishing the national framework for training and the procedures leading to the award of the national doctoral diploma, authorisation to present a thesis for defence is granted by the President of the University of Montpellier...
The habilitation to direct research recognises the high scientific level of the candidate, the original nature of his or her approach in a field of science, his or her ability to master a research strategy...
Are you a student holding a Master's degree or enrolled in a Master's degree or equivalent and benefiting from the employment obligation*? Do you wish to continue or resume your studies in a doctorate?
You can benefit from a doctoral disability contract
Since 2011, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation has set up a plan to allocate doctoral contracts to students with disabilities.
The "PhD with a Disability 2022" campaign offers funding for contracts to students with a thesis project who are recognised as being beneficiaries of the Employment Obligation (BOE).
In addition, the University of Montpellier undertakes to finance a doctoral contract for the disabled from its own resources, in accordance with the provisions of the institution's multi-annual Disability Master Plan.
Successful candidates will benefit from a three-year (36 months) contract, conditional each year on re-registration at the doctoral school.
The doctorate must be carried out in a research structure for which the University of Montpellier is the supervisor. Students must register for a PhD at the University of Montpellier in one of the 9 doctoral schools. An information sheet indicates the research units and doctoral specialities prepared at the UM.
