Admissions without examination (funding obtained)

Admissions “outside the competition” may be granted when a thesis supervisor, team, or laboratory associated with the doctoral school obtains funding corresponding to the salary of a doctoral student (minimum of approximately €1,768 per month until the date of the thesis defense).

Admission is not automatic but is subject to review of the application by the ED 656 CanBioS management in order to verify the suitability of the candidate, subject, team, and funding.

• Dates: without date restriction on ADUM
• Procedure: thesis supervisors submit their topics directly on ADUM.

Reminder of the role of supervisors:

• The thesis supervisor is responsible for the scientific direction of the thesis project and for ensuring that the thesis progresses smoothly with regard to the doctoral school, the institution where the doctoral student is enrolled, and the doctoral student themselves.
• The co-supervisor is involved in defining the thesis project and the objectives to be achieved.
  
• Consultation of topics: candidates may consult the topics posted on the ADUM platform before submitting their application.

The application process is managed exclusively via this link and not via the creation of an account.

The application file, reviewed by the ED CanBioS Management, must be submitted in a single PDF file, including the following items in this order:

• Curriculum vitae (2 pages maximum)
• Application for a thesis project via ADUM
• Summary of the thesis project, signed by the student and the thesis supervisor, with a 3-year timeline
• Opinion of the thesis supervisor and any co-supervisors
• Opinion of the director of the host unit, signed
• Copy or certificate of completion of a Master's degree or equivalent
• Transcripts for the four semesters of the Master's program and rankings in M1 and M2
• The five most significant publications from the past three years by the host team related to the themes of the doctoral school. The principal supervisor must be in bold and the students supervised must be underlined
• Individual training path related to the professional project
• Certificate of funding for three years.

Once your doctoral project has been approved by CanBioS'management, your application will be transferred to the ADUM enrollment database. You will then need to complete your academic and administrative enrollment in accordance with the established procedure.

Regardless of your contract start date, you will move up to the next year in October (academic year enrollment).
