Find out about bachelor's degrees, postgraduate courses and all the educational courses offered by the UdG.
Teaching is concentrated in the faculties and schools, and the departments deal with research, which is also conducted by institutes and chairs, at the same time responsible for knowledge promotion.
The School of Doctoral Studies offers a series of cross-disciplinary training courses aimed at providing doctoral students with training that complements their research training.
Students on UdG and joint doctorate programmes who began their studies in 2017-2018 must enrol and pass two compulsory training course credits during their doctoral studies before presenting their doctoral thesis. Enrolling for this is optional for students who began their studies before this time.
How: Enrolments are exclusivelyonline, as are academic supervisions, and carried out within the periods established in the academic calendar for the annual enrolments on the doctoral programme.
Cost: The courses are regulated under the Government of Catalonia’s decree on prices and therefore have a financial cost.
Places: Limited.
Condition: For justifiable reasons only, enrolment can be cancelled or extended (if there are places available).
Deadlines: Only applications for cancelling or extending enrolments on courses that have not started yet will be processed. Applications must be submitted at least 7 calendar days before the start of the course to be cancelled or enrolled on. Enrolments cannot be cancelled or extended where the course has already finished.
How: Doctoral students will need to access the Procedures section in the Virtual Secretary's Office, click on the “go there” button for the “Administration application” procedure, select the application’s area and explain the reason: Extension or cancellation of enrolment on doctoral courses.
Cost: The cancellation of enrolment will not entail the reimbursement of the course fee.
Final rating: “Pass” or “Fail”.
Rating “Pass”:
Before you enrol, check that the language of the course and the modality fit your interests.

When writing a doctoral thesis in Law, the doctoral student often faces many questions. ¿Where do I start? What should I do exactly? What should the thesis consist of? What reading is appropriate? Where do I find information? Which approach should I take? How do I cite documents? How do I structure my tasks effectively and manage my time the best way possible? Who can resolve queries?
On this course, basic instructions are provided on these and other matters, with the aim of improving the approach to the often long and complex process of writing a thesis in Law.

In certain fields, more and more doctoral students decide to structure their theses as a compendium of publications. This means that during the doctoral course it is necessary to deal with the publication process, which includes reviews by anonymous peers of the articles produced. Facing reviews correctly is not an easy task. This course introduces the key elements to understanding review reports, dealing with them and taking advantage of them to improve the article and maximise its likelihood of acceptance.

The aim of the course is to educate young researchers so that they can explain their results through cartography. The use of digital cartography makes it possible to represent the study area in which the research is framed in a graphic way, as well as the obtained results.
Maps help researchers to disseminate their research in an illustrative format that can support their oral as well as written communication. Cartographic resources help to synthesise the information in a single format that explains a phenomenon, process or event in a territorial way. In this context, the creation of maps is a
multidisciplinary and a basic resource for very wide range of areas.
