Calendar

 

Preselection

A preselection based on application file will identify the candidates who will be asked to present their thesis project orally.

For each specialty of the doctoral school, applications are either preselected by the referent of the specialty according to a procedure that he/she defines with all the teachers-researchers of the specialty; or by the Scientific Advisory board of the ED (on the basis of objective criteria such as the candidate's background, grades and honors obtained, etc.) when the conditions for preselection by the referent are not fulfilled.

The role of the referent is also to give advice, at the request of the candidates, in the preparation of the application file as well as in the preparation of the audition for the selected candidates.

Preselection meeting

In any case, the Scientific Advisory Board (the Board and the representatives of the 3 main fields of the ED) and the speciality referents will meet on June 24 to deliberate on all the pre-rankings in order to select the candidates who will be auditioned (about 25 candidates).

Representatives of the 3 main fields of the ED :
Public Health : David-Alexandre Tregouët
Human Sciences : Eric Dugas
Political science : Antoine Roger

 

Interviews

The selected candidates are invited by email to attend an interview before a Jury.

The jury is composed of members of the EDSP2 Council or their representative. A PhD student is present as an observer alongside the jury.

The interviews will be held at the Sigalas Conference Room, Victoire Campus, Bordeaux.

The candidate may use a supporting ppt if he wishes, and the interview can be held in English at his request.
