In the academic year in which you have formalised admission to the doctoral programme (first year) you must draw up and present a Research Plan drawn up in any of the programme's languages.
The presentation of the Research Plan during the course in which admission to the program has been formalised (academic tutelage plate) is a requirement to continue in the program.
From the following academic year in which the Research Plan has been accepted, the Academic Commission will evaluate, each academic year, the advances made in the research plan and the activity document.
The Academic Committee of the programme sets out the timetable, the specific documents to be presented for the annual evaluation.
The Research Plan must include at least:
- The provisional title of the thesis
- Project Hypothesis and/or Goals
- The theoretical framework
- The methodology to use and the means
- The expected results
- The relevant bibliography
- The thesis planning
- The schedule for its completion
- A data management plan
- The ethical considerations of research
The Academic Committee of the programme sets out the specific timetable, content and requirements to be included in the Research Plan and also the documentation and procedures linked to the presentation. You can consult the specific requirements that the Commission has been able to set for the program you are currently in progress at the end of this information.
