\n<\/span><\/span>The authorization of defense is given by the president of the university on the advice of the management of the Doctoral School and in view of the favorable reports of the reviewers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attention: For the defenses planned between end of August and 14 September, the rapporteurs’ reports must reach the doctoral college no later than 15 July 2025 – noon (correction dated 29\/04\/2025)
\n<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Language of the thesis<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Doctoral College of the University of Strasbourg has established the following rules:<\/span><\/p>\n

the writing in English or German is accepted for all theses, subject to an authorization granted by the director of the doctoral school (model<\/a>).
\n<\/span>the writing in another language must be done exclusively within the framework of a cotutelle of thesis.
\n<\/span>in both cases, the manuscript must be written at least 10% of the totality (without the bibliography) in French.<\/span><\/p>\n

PhD defense<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

the chairman of the jury is appointed by the members of the jury. <\/span>He must be a teacher or equivalent and can not be the thesis supervisor. <\/span>An emeritus can not chair a thesis jury.
\n<\/span>exceptionally, a defense may include videoconferencing facilities. <\/span>In this case, the members of the jury, with the exception of the president of the jury, may participate in the defense by these means, according to a procedure set up in the institution. <\/span>Although formally, the presential is only mandatory for the candidate and the president of the jury, such a situation should be only exceptional and justified to the president of the university as soon as possible. <\/span>In the case of defense including the videoconference, the president of the jury will necessarily be upstream of the date of the defense.
\n<\/span>At the end of the presentation by the PhD student, the president of the jury gives priority to the reviewers.
\n<\/span>deliberation (discussion, decision, report, signatures)
\n<\/span>All members of the jury (thesis director (s) included) participate in the discussion phase (invited members are not official members of the jury, they do not participate in the deliberation). <\/span>The thesis director (s) does not participate in the decision phase (level assessment, final decision on whether to award the doctorate). <\/span>On the other hand, he (they) sign (s) the report of defense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Procedures to be carried out after the defense<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

dir-ed182-secretariat@unistra.fr<\/a> <\/span> sends a letter to the candidate asking him to follow the : Electronic filing procedure<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The doctor<\/strong>
\n<\/span>– deposit his documents on the counter \u00ab\u00a0Deposit-Theses\u00a0\u00bb (via his ENT tab \u00ab\u00a0My file\u00a0\u00bb) within one month if there are no corrections to be made to his manuscript, within three months <\/span>if there are corrections to be made.
\n<\/span>– The validation of the corrections must be certified by the thesis director or the president of the jury.
\n<\/span>– The Doctoral Training Department and the SCD are responsible for putting the thesis online.<\/span><\/p>\n

The school pole<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

dir-ed182-secretariat@unistra.fr<\/a> <\/span>provides a diploma certificate as long as the deposit is compliant.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
