In France, the PhD is a research program resulting in the highest university degree. It is prepared over three years, or more depending on the discipline, after obtaining a Master's degree or equivalent diploma. It gives access to careers in public or private research, but also in all sectors that require a spirit of analysis and synthesis, rigor, autonomy, creativity, perseverance and the implementation of complex issues.
