Coursework

The Ph.D. Course in Geosciences has a duration of three years and the degree can be obtained after having acquired at least 26 credits corresponding to 156 hours (starting from the XL series; for previous series, Ph.D. students had to acquire 30 credits, corresponding to 180 hours). These credits are earned through courses, summer schools and attendance at a minimum of 12 seminars during the three years.

The Ph.D. student must also carry out independent and original research, culminating in the writing of the thesis. There are compulsory courses that a doctoral student must take, but the student can also independently create, in agreement with his supervisor, his own Individual Training Plan.

You can download the complete educational offer and the individual training plan.

Courses organized by the Doctoral Course in Geosciences are provided below (see table):
