On a PhD programme, there are no classes per se, although depending on the programme where you are registered, there may be some face-to-face activities.

There may be two types of activities:

• Cross-cutting: the academic commissions for each PhD programme decide on whether these activities are obligatory or elective for students. They are organised by the Doctoral School and are common to all PhD programmes. For more information, please see the Doctoral School Training Activities
• Specific: the academic commissions for each PhD programme decide on whether these activities are obligatory or elective, and whether they are specific to their students.

For more information about these activities, please see the PhD studies on offer section. You will need to select your PhD programme and go to the 'Training Activities' section.

If you have any academic questions, you may contact the programme coordinator via the contact form in the 'General Information' section for the programme.
