A committee is not asking whether your topic is impressive (French version)

Most doctoral applications are not rejected on the science. They are rejected on a badly structured proposal, a presentation that wanders, and one committee question nobody prepared for.

A committee is asking one thing: can this person carry this project to the end? Everything else follows from that. Which is good news, because it can be prepared.

What you get

1. The full workshop replay from 2 September 2026.

2. The complete slide deck from the "Être admis" webinar.

3. A research proposal template in Word, structured in 8 sections, each with a brief telling you exactly what belongs there.

4. An interview presentation template in PowerPoint, following the 7-part order a committee expects, with speaker notes on every slide.

All materials are in French.

Who this is for

For doctoral candidates submitting an application this academic year, in Morocco or across the francophone world, in economics, management, social sciences, education or the humanities.

If you have a field you like but not yet a defensible topic, this kit is for you. If your proposal is already submitted and accepted, it will not help you.

What you will be able to do

• Formulate a research question precise enough to be settled by data, and not already settled by the literature.

• Structure a 10 to 15 page proposal with the right weighting across literature, methodology and timeline.

• Build an interview presentation that follows the order a committee expects, with nothing improvised.

• Prepare the 4 unavoidable questions, including the one almost nobody anticipates: what is the weak point of your project?

• Answer when the committee pushes back, instead of defending yourself.
