Enrollment documents

Preparing the enrollment documents.

The enrollment documents for authorization to register include at least the following:

detailed CV
transcripts for the Master’s degree (1st and 2nd years) (or engineering school course)
confirmation of successful completion of Master’s degree (or equivalent diploma)
copy of contract of employment or, if applicable, proof of funding for 3 years (in the case of a grant, specify the amount)
Cover letter
Reference letter ( if student is not from University of Bordeaux)
Application for admission to Doctoral studies*
"Method of funding" form *
"Thesis Charter"*
"Training Agreement*

* These documents can be downloaded from your personnal space in ADUM (once your account has been created). They must be signed beforehand by the thesis supervisor and the research laboratory Director.

In all cases, to enroll in the Doctoral School, a copy of the contract of employment must be sent by e-mail (edoc.spi@u-bordeaux.fr), as soon as it has been signed.

Finalize your enrollment

To finalize your enrollment, you must log on the IAWEB application (link provided to you as soon as you are permitted to enroll)
1- Carefully check that all information is correct
2- Pay your registration fees (4 payment options see the college of doctoral schools web site)

3- Once payment is completed, you will be able to upload all your required documents on the PJWeb application (link provided to you as soon as you are permitted to enroll)

Re-enrollment in 4th year

For the administrative procedures, go to the College of Doctoral Studies website.

An extension of the thesis period may be requested from the director of the Doctoral School, after an opinion from the thesis supervisor has been provided through a letter stating the reasons the thesis has fallen behind schedule and setting a precise timetable for the end of the thesis. The unit director must also approve the request. An interview with the individual monitoring committee for the thesis must also be carried out before making the request. Re-enrollment is dependent on a favorable opinion from the individual monitoring committee and by the availability of funding for a short period, until the end of the thesis, for an amount determined in proportion to the time required to carry out the research in the laboratory.

Otherwise, re-enrollment beyond the third year is reviewed over the course of the year and is granted on the condition that a thesis manuscript approved by the thesis supervisor is presented.

Student status cannot be cumulated with that of a jobseeker. If they were to be combined, the student would run the risk of having one of the two statuses cancelled and the reimbursement of the related sums.
It is therefore impossible to complete a fourth year on the thesis in parallel with enrollment as a jobseeker.
