Welcome to the Collège Doctoral website

The main mission of the Doctoral College is to organize, coordinate and lead Aix-Marseille Université's (AMU) doctoral training policy. To achieve this, it relies on the Doctoral Training Department (Direction de la Formation Doctorale - DFD), the administrative structure responsible for implementing the policy. The DFD is one of AMU's central departments. Doctoral training at Aix-Marseille Université covers a wide range of scientific disciplines and fields in the hard sciences, life and health sciences and the humanities and social sciences, and offers a wide range of complementary training programs, both disciplinary and cross-disciplinary, to help students complete their theses and prepare for their future careers.
