The Doctorat (PhD) is the highest level of education that can be obtained in France. In the French university system, PhD is a research degree that involves carrying out new research and producing a thesis that will advance the knowledge in a certain area of study.
The nature of the main exams that are accepted for entry into a French PhD program depends on the specific doctoral program and university in question. These are the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) for students from the other parts of the world and the national competitive recruitment exams for researchers (concours de recrutement national des chercheurs) for the French students. There are some doctoral schools that might also integrate other factors that include the student’s Master’s thesis, experience in research, and compatibility with the program as factors for admission. Recommendation letters, interviews, and a research proposal are also some of the standard documents considered during the admission process to a PhD program in France.
