If you have a Master’s degree (whether it’s research or "of science") or if you are a qualified engineer (Bac +5 with experience in research), you can apply for a PhD.
After a minimum of 3 years on a PhD course followed by a viva voce, you will become a qualified doctor.
For more information on the PhD programme, please download the Thesis Charter of Toulouse University.
