The admission profile establishes the knowledge, skills and abilities that students wishing to access this programme must possess and, consequently, the most suitable qualifications for access to the programme and which determine admission and, where appropriate, the need or otherwise for PhD students to undertake additional training. In general, the bachelor’s and master’s degrees that will allow direct admission to this PhD programme without additional training will be those assigned to the field of knowledge of Chemical and Environmental Engineering. For any other profile within the fields of knowledge of Science and Engineering, the CAPD will study each case individually, and may or may not admit students and establish complementary training if necessary. In the event that the student lacks the previous training required in the programme, admission may be conditional upon the completion of the specific training complements established by the Academic Committee (maximum 15 ECTS). The completion of these complements will be prior to or at the same time as enrolment in academic supervision on the PhD programme. If it is not prior, it will not be counted for the purposes of the minimum and maximum periods established for the completion of the PhD studies. The training complements must be passed in the first academic year; otherwise, the PhD student will be withdrawn from the corresponding PhD programme. These training complements may be master’s or bachelor’s degree subjects, and for the purposes of public prices and the awarding of grants and study aids, they will be considered as PhD-level training.
As the lingua franca of science and technology, knowledge of English (minimum level B1) is recommended to enable the PhD student to communicate his/her results to the scientific community in an international context.
