Step 1 — Create a student account
- Fill in the account creation form on the platform carefully.
- An email confirms receipt of the account request.
- The Doctoral School administration checks the information provided, then informs the applicant by email that the account has been activated.
Step 2 — Prepare the forms
Download from the platform, fill in carefully and have signed:

Step 5 — Decision
The applicant is informed of the decision by email: acceptance and final registration in the first year, request for additional documents, or refusal.
Step 6 — Complete the registration
