Theses in progress
A list of finalized dissertations is available on the University’s website under the research section. In addition, it may be useful to consult the central file for dissertations, which contains all theses published through French universities.
Certain PhD students benefit from research allocations from the Ministry. In addition, in association with d’EGIDE, international scholarships are allocated to current or future PhD students as well as those pursuing a Master’s degree within the framework of a research project.
The preparation of a thesis involves individualized counsel from University professors affiliated with CRDH. General information on dissertation preparation can be found on the website for the Ministry for Higher Education and Research. The CRDH PhD students are doctorates in the school of international law, European law, and comparative law, which organizes its own functions of common interest.
