UNCR University, by this promotion offers a new vision in the practical application of doctoral theses which are, most of the time, forgotten or unrecognized once they are defended. We consider that this represents a huge intellectual waste not fully benefiting Humanity. This is why the idea came to extend the doctoral theses (whatever the discipline) when they can lead to a concrete project of peace, and thus see the theoretical reasoning supporting the practice. It is in fact a single thesis with a single examination board but two doctoral degrees within the framework of inter-university co-supervision ; it being specified that the doctoral student must imperatively carry out his concrete project on peace in order to obtain the issuance of his doctorate in the administration of peace.

CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION

UNCR University reports directly to the Cercle de Réflexion des Nations. It is ”approved by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). Its doctoral program is comparable to a Ph.D program offered at an accredited institution of higher education in the United States.

This promotion is exceptional : it is aimed at doctoral students from French-speaking countries who are at the beginning or in the process of their thesis and whose specialties could lead to concrete projects for peace which will have to be carried out effectively in the field.

Goal : to train many Doctors in Peace Administration in charge of concrete projects for peace, and thus:
Make practical the purely theoretical reasoning of theses by serving as a support for concrete achievements for peace (in all possible fields)
Stimulate inter-university relations in French-speaking countries
Promote the influence of the French language and culture
Serve world peace

Admission : training open to higher education graduates from all Member and Observer States of the Agence Internationale de la Francophonie, without distinction of age, sex, race, social condition or political or religious opinion. This special promotion is aimed at top-level doctoral students who have completed a brilliant academic and professional career with a real commitment to peace in order to be exempted from our theoretical training.

Qualifications and experience required:
- Higher education at doctoral level.
- A professional experience of ten years in positions of high responsibility.
- A very strong motivation for peace and humanitarian projects.
- A spirit of "Leader" combining the ability to design and implement major projects for peace and to mobilize energies and men.

Tuition: Free. However, the doctoral student will have to bear the costs of carrying out his peace project. Scholarships are possible.

Application deadline: October 1, 2024

Thesis follow-up: mainly provided by Internet.

Duration: in principle three years

Project for Peace: The project for Peace carried out during the co-supervised doctorate must be related to the theoretical fields addressed in the PhD thesis, it however aims to give to the research work a practical dimension. This can be, for example, practical projects such as training programs for various audiences (communities, religious people, governments, businesses, NGOs, etc.), on-the-ground awareness and information actions for the benefit of diverse populations, charitable works (care, childhood education, microfinance, etc.), the promotion of local traditions and cultures favorable to peace, scientific or engineering applications beneficial to the common good (access to drinking water, sanitation of living spaces, assistance with access to specific care, etc.).. The list of possible projects is vast, depending on the research area, local contexts, interests and experience of doctoral students, etc.
