Physics Doctorate
Presentation
The PhD in Physical Sciences of ULiège aims to train students for high level research. It also aims to develop skills such as independence, critical thinking, oral and written communication, ... The PhD diploma gives you access to jobs in the field of public and private research (in companies or research centers) but also in higher education in a university or college.
During the thesis, which generally lasts between 4 and 6 years, the student must carry out an original research work in Physics under the guidance of a promoter, a permanent member of one of the three poles of the Physics Department (GRASP, IPNAS, QMAT). The main sources of funding are granted by the University of Liege (assistant grants), the FNRS (aspirant) or the FRIA but there are others such as the ARC (Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles), the Service Public de Wallonie or FEDER (European Union) grants...
During his or her PhD, the student must also validate a training of 60 credits that can be obtained by following courses or training related to the thesis project, by participating in summer schools, colloquia and conferences or by doing internships abroad or pedagogical supervision missions.
