University accreditation is carried out by following the stages:
Filing nomination file:
The Vice Rectorate will be in charge of checking the administrative and regulatory compliance of the file.
If the file is correct, it will be sent to the faculty concerned for examination by scientific bodies (committees and scientific councils) which will decide on the admissibility and will propose three rapportors to evaluate the file.
The presented scientific works of the candidates must be accompanied by scientific articles beyond the subject of the doctorate thesis
Expertise committees appointment:
DAPPOINTMENT OF EXPERTS
If a favorable decision is issued by the Scientific Committee of the Department and the Scientific Council of the Faculty, the Scientific Council shall propose three experts (examiners), of senior ranks and specialized in the field to which the candidate belongs, to evaluate the case. At least one of the three experts must be of an institution other than the one to which the applicant belongs. The official designations of the three experts are confirmed by a decision signed by the rector of the university.
The faculty sends the candidate’s file to the designated experts to establish an assessment. The Experts’ assessments are confidential and must be submitted to the faculty and the vice rector within a period not exceeding the prescribed period.
Defense committee appointment:
If the three experts’ reports are favorable, the rector appoints the defense jury on the proposal of the scientific council of the faculty. The defense jury is composed of 3 to 6 members having senior ranks. The quarter of the jury member must be from outside of the institution. The three (03) examiners who assessed the candidate’s work are considered guest members in the jury.
The university accreditation discussion:
The candidate or applicant for the university habilitation shall give a presentation to the habilitation jury on all his scientific and pedagogical work. A discussion between the applicant and the jury is driving to confirm the candidate’s ability to design, direct, organize and coordinate research independently. After the defense, the jury deliberates behind closed doors and renders its final and irrevocable decision taken by a vote majority, but the president’s voice is decisive in the event of a tied vote. The faculty’s dean, the vice rector and the vice rectorate’s services will work on extracting the university accreditation certificate
