PhD program admission<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Admission to the doctoral program at Bordeaux School of Economics (BSE) is done through the ADUM<\/a> platform by following the instructions described on the doctoral school’s<\/a> website (be sure to consult the section on the Doctoral School Economic Sciences, Management & Demographics).<\/p>\n

The first step when applying for a PhD at BSE is to identify a future PhD supervisor. To do this, we recommend that you contact researchers working on topics that interest you most and that would be relevant to your dissertation project. You can consult the list of BSE researchers<\/a> on this website.<\/p>\n

Next, you must identify a source of funding for your doctoral studies. Only candidates who have secured a source of funding can begin their PhD at BSE. The various sources of funding and the associated procedures are described below (this list is not exhaustive but covers the three main types of initial funding available). A doctoral scholarship consists of a monthly stipend for three years.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the source of funding, a PhD at BSE generally offers the opportunity to collaborate with teams on concrete research projects, as well as opportunities for extended visiting research stays in other universities or organizations.<\/p>\n

Funding and procedures<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This section describes the main mechanisms for obtaining PhD funding. This list is not exhaustive. For additional information, please consult the Doctoral School\u2019s website dedicated page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MESRI grant<\/em><\/p>\n

A PhD grant from the Ministry of Higher Education and Research is one of the sources of funding available for doctoral studies in France. Obtaining this grant follows a specific schedule and procedure, with doctoral studies beginning in September.<\/p>\n
