The Department welcomes visiting doctoral students who are willing to spend some time at UPF. Visiting students have the opportunity to participate in the department's seminars, present their research, and have interaction with our faculty.

It is recommended that the student agrees in advance to be supervised by a lecturer from the department during their stay, that they contact the student representatives to arrange a meeting to explain the dynamics and activities of the students, and that they arrange an initial introductory meeting with the PhD Programme Coordinator.

The University will provide the student with access to the library and a shared workspace (individual workstations are not available due to space limitations at the University).


If you are interested, please send the documents below to the following email address: [email protected]

  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Passport or ID photocopy
  • A short description of the research to be carried out during the stay and the work plan (maximum of 2 pages).
  • Proof of being registered in a PhD Programme (a letter signed by the supervisor or programme coordinator is sufficient).
  • Application form (this is where you will need to indicate the name of the tutor and the exact dates of the stay)

Research visits are subject to the approval of the programme's Academic Committee.
