Complementos formativos Doctorado en Química Básica y Aplicada

The Academic Committee of the Doctoral Programme is not only the body in charge of the selection process but has also the mission to ensure that admitted students count on the appropriate education background to successfully address the training provided by the doctoral programme. The objective is that students are ready to acquire the programme’s expected competences.

Therefore, the studies carried out by the students and the chosen research line will determine the training complements necessary for their full integration into this PhD Programme. The training complements are as follows:

For the lines: Electromagnetism, Electronics, Particle Physics and Astronomy (nº 1.2) and Chemical Engineering and Energetic Engineering (nº 2.1), it is considered that a student who has completed one of the previously related studies or studies of a level similar to that of a Master's degree in science and/or technology, responds to a profile suitable for full integration in these lines.

Any application for admission that does not meet the situations contained in this section will be dealt with by the Academic Committee of the Programme, after having heard the research staff involved in the line the candidate seeks to join.
