Description

Once you are admitted to the doctoral program, you will be assigned:

  • Thesis supervisor: a person, Spanish or international, with accredited research experience*, regardless of the university, center, or institution where they work. They will be ultimately responsible for ensuring the consistency and suitability of your training activities, the impact and originality of your thesis within your field, providing guidance on planning, and ensuring alignment with other projects and activities of interest to you. Each doctoral programme may set additional criteria for acting as a doctoral thesis supervisor.
     
  • Tutor: a person affiliated with the doctoral program, who may or may not be the same person as the thesis supervisor. The tutor, with accredited research experience*, will be responsible for facilitating your interaction with the Academic Committee.

 Please note

*Accredited research experience is understood to mean the possession of, at minimum, a period of research activity recognized by the National Commission for the Evaluation of Research Activity (CNEAI) or, if this cannot be accredited through this means, having equivalent research merits according to the regulations of the university itself.
