The Doctoral Programmes are research-oriented degrees aimed to develop advanced theoretical and practical research skills in a specific area of knowledge. Doctoral candidates complete main modules in research methods and foundation knowledge in their proposed research field (1 Year) and then work with a supervisor to complete their Doctoral thesis (2 to 4 Years).

Doctoral candidates are expected to develop an original scientific work that contributes to a significant theoretical advance in the field. The main objective of the programme is to prepare highly qualified professionals, capable of developing R&D activities in private and public organisations or to develop an academic career.

New applicants to the University of Saint Joseph Doctoral Programme can choose their thesis topic and supervisor from a pool of Open Doctoral Thesis Proposals at the admission stage.
