Program access information

The competent body to inform and propose the admission of students to the Program will be the Joint Academic Committee of the Doctoral Program. This committee will be responsible for approving the joint admission criteria, proposing the modification of the program, evaluating and assuring its quality, establishing the teaching plan and all other matters deemed necessary. This committee will be made up of seven representatives from both universities.

Apart from the general criteria established by law or regulation for access to doctoral studies, it is established as a specific requirement to have passed a minimum of 60 ECTS credits in the university masters of the Universitat de València or the Universitat Politècnica de València (University Master in Experimental Techniques in Chemistry, in Sensors for Industrial Applications, in Experimental and Industrial Organic Chemistry, in Sustainable Chemistry, in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, in Contamination and Toxicology, in Contamination and Toxicology), in Sensors for Industrial Applications, in Experimental and Industrial Organic Chemistry, in Sustainable Chemistry, in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, in Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, in Science and Technology of colloids and interfaces, in Environmental Engineering) or in university masters whose contents are included within the doctrinal body of chemistry. In case of being in possession of the Diploma of Advanced Studies (DEA), obtained in accordance with the provisions of RD 778/98 or having achieved the Research Sufficiency as regulated by RD 185/85, they must have studied it in Doctoral programs related to this one.

Those who have taken other master’s degree courses other than those mentioned in the previous point may also be admitted, particularly those who do not accredit a research profile or who come from master’s degree courses that require additional credits to begin doctoral studies in their studies of origin. The training complements will be mandatory for those students who access the doctoral program with a bachelor’s degree whose duration is at least 300 ECTS, unless the curriculum of the corresponding bachelor’s degree includes research training credits, equivalent in training value to the research credits from master’s studies. In the aforementioned cases, students will be required to take those training complements at the master’s level within the subjects of the master’s degrees indicated in section a) that will provide them with the knowledge not accredited. The Academic Committee will study each particular case and will establish the subjects to be taken. The passing of these subjects will guarantee the attainment of the competences.

Students who meet the above requirements will be admitted to the doctoral program and the Academic Committee of the doctoral program will be responsible for verifying compliance with the above requirements for admission to the doctoral program.

Students will be selected on the basis of scientific and academic reasons: academic record (50%), Curriculum Vitae (20%), 2 references (10%) and personal interview (20%).

The academic record will be evaluated on the academic performance and results and the training received. As for the curriculum vitae, training in subjects of initiation to research, complementary training and experience will be evaluated. The two references must positively evaluate the student and come from university professors of whom the student has been a student or, if applicable, from doctoral professionals in the area who have supervised the student’s learning.

In the interview, the candidate’s capabilities will be evaluated.

The body in charge of the admission of students will be the Doctoral Academic Committee (CAD).

The academic committee of the program, after studying the curriculum of the doctoral student, will decide whether it is appropriate for him/her to take complementary training. Where appropriate, it will define the list of subjects to be taken from the postgraduate academic offer of any of the universities, considering the specific training required by the doctoral student for the proper development of his research work”. To select the corresponding subjects will be considered the teachings of the masters in the university masters of the Universitat de València or the Universitat Politècnica de València (University Master in Experimental Techniques in Chemistry, in Sensors for Industrial Applications, in Experimental and Industrial Organic Chemistry, in Sustainable Chemistry, in Chemistry for Industrial Applications, in Experimental and Industrial Organic Chemistry, in Sustainable Chemistry, in Chemistry for Industrial Applications, in Chemistry for Industrial Applications, in Chemistry for Industrial Applications, in Chemistry for Industrial Applications, in Chemistry for Industrial Applications, and in Chemistry for Industrial Applications), in Sustainable Chemistry, in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, in Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, in Science and Technology of colloids and interfaces, in Environmental Engineering) or in university masters whose contents are included within the doctrinal body of chemistry.
