The INPT Doctoral Studies Center offers its PhD students a quality training course based on excellence. PhD students from CEDOC 2TI must pursue training modules and participate in scientific activities in order to complete their doctoral studies at the INPT. To this end, doctoral training at the INPT is based on a 200 hourly volume and is organized around three main axis:

The transversal modules include essential basic training for all PhD students. These modules will enable them to carry out their research work and develop transversal skills.

As for specific supplementary training, they are planned in agreement with the thesis supervisor and the doctoral research team, all according to their profile. Moreover, they are enriched according to the expectations of the doctoral training, the doctoral study center and the profile of doctoral students.

Duration of the complementary training:
