PhD Program

France is one among the leading international countries in the world that is progressively more open to combined research projects and invite international students at the PhD level. Special provisions are made for applicants from outside France for pursuing Doctoral degree programs. There are about three hundred doctoral schools in France where about four thousand of research students are pursuing PhD programs each year. The research training given to the PhD students in the various higher educational research Institutes in France involves two and/or three different levels.

The first part is committed to the description of a PhD preparation towards DEA Diploma, the second part is devoted to the major PhD degree preparation and the third part is devoted towards the preparation of post-PhD section. The duration of PhD research degrees fairly depends on the individual topic and the nature of research work. Most of the PhD programs are offered with financial support, yet, students seeking admission to PhD program in France are advised to check the individual Institutes offering the programs with 'fellowships' or any other 'grant' details
