The selection process will include the following steps :

  • Twenty research projects of excellence from AMU laboratories have been selected by the board of the PhD program.
  • Applicants will have to select and rank two out of these research projects and will motivate the reasons of their choice.
  • The selection committee will shortlist 10 students that will be individually interviewed early July.
  • The final decision will be known in July and the three successful candidates will start their PhD studies in October.
