In its Regulations governing official doctoral studies (approved by the Governing Board on 27 January 2012), The University of Murcia establishes that applicants holding an official Spanish Degree or Graduate Certificate with a duration of at least 300 ECTS credits must compulsorily complete the training supplements referred to in Article 7.2 of the Royal Decree 99/2011 of 28 January, unless the syllabus of the degree includes research training credits of an equivalent value to the research credits in master's degree studies.
Graduates from areas of knowledge other than the research line in which they want to complete their Doctoral programme must complete their training with training complements offered by the Doctorate Programme itself through the Specific Training in Arts and Humanities activity. This training will correspond to the MECES-3 level and will serve to level common knowledge. This training complement will be taught during the first year to students who have been admitted to the PhD programme based on their previous degree and selected research line. Thus, students who access the doctoral program with degrees other than the preferred degrees mentioned above must take the specific training complements for the line in which they have enrolled.
Those who have completed the direct-access master's degrees or degrees contemplated in the preferential access profile will not have to carry out the complementary training.
The specific acitivity will require an estimated 15 ECTS credits of student dedication, given the MECES-3 level of these training complements.
These training complements are described in detail below.
