Actividades formativas Doctorado en Biología Molecular y Biotecnología

The Doctorate Programme in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (DBMBT) at the University of Murcia (UMU), will describe its activities through the website of the International School of Doctoral Studies of the University of Murcia (EIDUM, www.um.es/web/Eidum): www.um.es/web/eidum/contenido/estudios/doctorados/bio-molecular. It should be remembered that doctoral students’ main activity must be research and therefore the time devoted to the following training activities should not exceed 5-8% of the total (around 80-100 hours per year).

The following downloadable pdf file indicates the Specific Training Activities (AF1-4) of the Doctorate Programme in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology; the doctoral student will have the option of taking them full or part time depending on their length or annual repetition, with the approval of the Supervisor/Tutor. Details of the timeframe and planning are given for orientation purposes. Activities AF1, AF3 and AF4 are Optional. Activity AF2 is Mandatory.

Moreover, the Transversal Training Activities (AF5-10) are indicated highlighted by their relationship with the programme, developed by different units of the University of Murcia, among them the International School of Doctorate Studies at the University of Murcia (EIDUM). It will plan the common transversal activities available for the doctorate programmes ascribed to it, and inherent in training in research, personal and values, so that the doctoral students gain the knowledge and academic and professional competencies approved in their doctoral programmes. Activities AF5-10 are Optional.

Description of the Training Activities

 

The following activities can be accredited by means of the computer application doctorado.um.es, within the Personal Record of Activities of the Doctoral Student on the Doctorate Programme in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology:

Section-1: Record of Interviews. Interviews with the Tutor/Supervisor.
Section-2: Activities established in the Doctorate Programme. See AF1-10.
Section-3: Attendance at Courses/Congresses. Attendance at other Courses other than those of AF1-10.
Section-4: Other training activities. Performing different activities other than those described previously (Research papers published including citing bibliography, etc.).

The Personal Record of Activities of the Doctoral Student will be assessed annually by the Tutor, the Supervisors, and the Academic Commission of the Doctorate Programme in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, in accordance with the regulations established by the EIDUM.

Doctorate Programme in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology: Calendars of Actions

The calendars of Actions for each academic year, as well as the corresponding documents, will be established and published by the EIDUM (www.um.es/web/eidum). In all cases, it should be taken into account that, from the date of the presentation of the First Research Plan:

  • Research Papers published will be considered, for the elaboration of the Doctoral Thesis in the mode of Compendium of Publications.
  • Research Stays carried out will be considered, for those opting for the International Doctor Mention.

For all of the above, it is recommended to act quickly in the First Year actions of the Doctroate on the Doctorate Programme in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology.
