To be enrolled in a doctoral programm, the candidate must hold a french master degree  conferring the grade of Master in a research programm (M2 or an engineering degree with a final year internship in a research unit) or a foreign degree of equivalent level and including research training.

If this diploma requirement is not met, the head of the university may, by derogation and on the recommendation of the doctoral school council, enrol in the doctoral programme people who have completed studies of an equivalent level or who benefit from the validation of acquired experience as underlined in article L. 613-5 of the Education Code.

EDISS may reject to enroll a candidate if he/she does not have the required diploma, if his/her academic level is too low, if his/her training does not seem to be in line with his/her thesis project or if the thesis project does not fall within the topics of EDISS.

You must contact the laboratories affiliated to EDISS in order to find a PhD supervisor  who will agree to follow you throughout your PhD.
