Programme and order of presentations by PhD students
ED SSH
Welcome to the Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour Doctoral School of Social Sciences and Humanities (ED 481 SSH), a school that brings together all the laboratories of the Law, Economics, Management, Literature, Languages, Human and Social Sciences and Sports departments, and welcomes over 250 doctoral students.
The ED's mission is to strengthen students' knowledge of their chosen doctoral discipline, and to deepen their understanding of the research methods used in their field, while offering a multi-disciplinary culture in the Social Sciences and Humanities. The ED organizes a number of events that transcend disciplines and borders (cross-border doctoral events, interdisciplinary seminars, etc.).
The ED also aims to facilitate the professional integration of future PhDs, in both the academic and professional worlds.
It ensures a quality approach to training, notably by setting up committees to monitor individual doctoral students, and by providing thesis supervisors with the tools they need for quality supervision. It works towards the continuous improvement of doctoral training by evaluating and analyzing the teaching provided.
Finally, it is committed to putting in place the conditions to enable the preparation of a doctorate in three years full-time equivalent devoted to research (or a maximum of six years in other cases), in compliance with the decree of May 25, 2016 setting the national framework for doctoral training.
Students wishing to pursue a doctorate will find on this site all the information they need to prepare a thesis: doctoral student guide, registration procedures, administrative formalities, doctoral contract, etc. They will also find essential information on the training courses offered during the academic year. Thesis supervisors will find national and international calls for applications for doctoral contracts and other available sources of funding.
Please consult it regularly!
In conclusion, writing a thesis is an exciting intellectual pursuit, which develops a sense of responsibility, autonomy and teamwork. We wish all our future PhD students and their supervisors a fruitful and fulfilling research experience.
