- Doctoral Thesis Defense
The Ph.D. thesis is the intended outcome of the doctoral training period.
The thesis must be validated by your tutor and advisor and meet the quality and format standards established by the Academic Committee of the program.
To ensure compliance with the principles established in the Code of Good Practice for Managing Plagiarism of Ph.D. Theses of the Doctoral School, all theses must be subjected to a plagiarism management procedure prior to the authorization of the defense.
As a general rule, you must have been enrolled on your Ph.D. program for at least 24 months before initianing thesis defense proceedings. The Academic Committee will establish the requirements for the public review of your thesis and propose the members of the thesis committee. The Doctoral School Board is to approve this proposal and authorize the defense. Theses are defended during a public session, in the language commonly used for scientific communication in the field, in which they are subjected to assessment by an expert committee.
