The doctoral schools

Doctoral training is organised within the doctoral schools (DSs). In Bourgogne Franche-Comté, they are the responsibility of UBFC (since the transfer of the doctoral mission on 1 January 2017) and of its Doctoral College.

Article 3 of the decree of 25 May 2016 that sets the national framework of the course of training and terms leading to the award of the national doctoral degree defines the DSs’ missions:

1° They implement an admission policy for PhD students, based on explicit and public criteria, let students know about admission conditions, the required skills, fundings likely to be granted, and the nature, quality, and rate of professional activity after graduation. They take part to the search for financing, and offer to grant funds so as to allow PhD students to prepare and defend their thesis in the best possible conditions;

2° They organise scientific exchanges between PhD students and the scientific community; they offer PhD students training activities that favour interdisciplinarity and the acquisition of a broad scientific culture including knowledge of the international research framework;

3° They ensure that each PhD student is trained in the ethics of research and in scientific integrity;

4° They ensure that a quality procedure of doctoral training is implemented, notably by setting up PhD students’ individual follow-up committees, and offer supervisors to attend a training course or receive specific support;

5° They define and implement devices to support students in their post-graduate career in the public and private sectors, and organise the follow-up of the trained doctors’ professional course in link with the relevant institutions;

6° They contribute to opening up at the European and international scales within the framework of cooperation actions with foreign higher-education institutions or research centers;

7° They give their opinion when research units or teams wish to integrate the DS.

The doctoral schools gather all the PhD students from Bourgogne Franche-Comté. Each DS has a well-defined scope in terms of disciplinary fields and doctoral specialties it delivers.
