Introduction

Doctoral training is training in and through research and professional research experience. It leads to the production of new knowledge.

It includes personal research work carried out by the doctoral student. It is supplemented by additional training validated by the doctoral school. It relates to the work of scientific, economic, social, technological, or cultural interest. It is sanctioned by the issuance of the national doctorate diploma. The diploma, issued by an accredited public higher education establishment, confers on its holder the doctor's degree and title.

The doctoral degree can be obtained as part of initial training and lifelong training. During this training, the specific skills acquired make it possible to exercise a professional activity at the end of the doctorate in all activity fields, public and private sectors.

Doctoral training is organized within the Doctoral School 58, collaborating with the Languedoc Roussillon Doctoral College (CDLR).

Doctoral training is one of the priorities of the research policy of Paul-Valéry University Montpellier 3 and ED 58, which applies this legal recommendation.
