Submission of a Thesis Proposal
Back
At the end of the first semester of registration, or the latest during the following semester after the initial registration, and unless otherwise allowed by the Head of the Doctoral Commission for a third eventual semester, the doctoral student shall write a thesis proposal of at least 20 pages to be submitted to his Thesis Director. It includes:
definition of the research area;
detailed problem statement;
rationale;
literature review;
description of the adopted methodology;
preliminary plan;
selected and commented bibliography.
The final topic should be sent to the secretariat of the Doctoral College.
Following the approval of the Thesis Director, the Head of the Doctoral Commission calls the doctoral student for an oral interview related to his thesis proposal. The Head of the Doctoral Commission may be assisted by an assessor, selected from among the tenured faculty members, if the nature of the subject necessitates so.
Following the approval of the Thesis Director and the Head of the Doctoral Commission, the doctoral student shall, during the semester following his initial registration, submit his subject and the thesis proposal to the secretariat of the Doctoral College in accordance with the submission procedure required by the Doctoral College. (Rf. Thesis Proposal Submission Request Form)
The secretariat of the Doctoral College registers the topics in a special record and publishes on the University website the list of doctoral students and the chosen topics.
