Training

The training courses offered to doctoral students are divided into two main areas: some are provided by the CED as part of a mutualisation between the two DEs, while others are specific to each of the DEs and are supported in particular by the laboratories attached to each of them.

Objectives

  • Helping to develop the scientific approach and disseminate scientific culture
  • Raising awareness of multidisciplinarity and ethics in scientific research
  • Help with communication (written and spoken)
  • Help with professional integration

To obtain a doctoral degree, students must validate the equivalent of 60 ECTS credits in each of the following 2 areas:

  • Help with professional integration (40 ECTS)
  • Disciplinary training linked to research themes (20 ECTS)

Registering for a course

You can register for courses on the ADUM. The list of courses is available in your ADUM space.
If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to formations-ed@univ-avignon.fr 

Validation of ECTS credits

The ECTS credits for a course are validated :

  • when the entire course is followed. In the event of justified absence from part of the course, a lower number of ECTS credits may be awarded to the doctoral student.
  • when the evaluation questionnaire will have been completed on the ADUM platform.

To validate credits for non-DE courses, a certificate issued by the organisers must be submitted on the ADUM platform.

To help you manage your doctoral training courses, you have access to a table which lists all the courses and associated credits.

MOOC courses may be subject to a request for credit equivalence. From the start of the 2023 academic year, please submit the certificate of attendance on the ADUM platform.
