Selection for institutional fundings

Graduate school selection for Institutional fundings is in two steps :

1. Thesis proposal by the thesis director
2. Candidate Application

Admission is competitive and is achieved through a selection procedure by the scientific jury of the Graduate School usually on the first half of June. Candidates are ranked based on the quality of their research project (written presentation, 6 pages, and oral presentation, 10 minutes), its feasibility within the official three years duration of the doctoral work, and the quality of their answers to questions posed by the jury. The result is given following deliberation by the examiners.

Since 2016, an additional selection process for foreign candidates already identified by the research unit, called International Selection, is offering research fellowships fully funded by the University of Lille for foreign students to attend Doctoral Courses. (Foreign candidates are yet eligible in both selection process)
