Guided by values of commitment and responsibility, the ICN Ph.D. program thus prepares researchers keen to pursue their careers in international universities and other research-oriented institutions, taking advantage of a diverse learning environment (ICN and its partners).

The ICN Ph.D. program is the equivalent of three full-time years of study but can be taken part-time in some exceptional cases. Students are selected based on their research proposal and from the outset have a tutor dedicated to their research. It is this personalized and intensive relationship with the tutor.

The program is structured as followed :

  • First year: intensive research seminars taken as compulsory courses. After completing the seminars, the students are awarded the ICN research certificate and are authorized to continue their thesis provided the doctoral committee validates their project.
  • Second year: a small conference is organized: students present a paper and review their colleague's work.
  • Third year: defense.
