PhD Admissions Board (CAD)

The main missions of the PhD Admissions Board (CAD) are to:

• examine the Doctorate (PhD) and Doctoral Training admissions files;
  
• establish the conditions to be fulfilled by the candidate prior to their admission onto a doctoral programme;
  
• designate a Thesis Advisory Committee and the Committee President (upon the Thesis Supervisor's recommendation);
  
• decide if the candidate can receive exemption from any courses;
  
• decide on whether the candidate's complementary programme has been passed (15 credits maximum) and decide how to award the credits based on the results; 
  
• authorise the re-admission onto a Doctorate (PhD) or Doctoral Training based on the advice of the Thesis Advisory Committee.

The PhD Admissions Board is made up of the Dean, who presides over the commission, the Vice-Dean, the Faculty Secretary, the President of the Faculty Board, and one other representative from the faculty (teaching or scientific staff) who is designated by the Faculty Board.
