PhD students enrol in one of the 7 affiliated Doctoral schools, which are approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. Each doctoral school provides a scientific framework and is dedicated to supervising and teaching PhD students, who conduct their research work under the responsibility of their thesis director.
A PhD programme is generally completed over a period of three years or more, after which PhD students are awarded the title of “Doctor”.
