Once these checks have been made, the academic committee of each doctoral programme applies their own admission requirements (for more information sees the “Admission criteria” section for each doctoral programme) to decide whether or not to accept the research trainee onto the doctoral programme.
Students with scholarships or predoctoral contracts will be accepted automatically onto the doctoral programme by proving that they meet the access requirements.
The academic committee will be able to request bridging courses which must be passed during the first academic year.
In all cases, if the master’s degree obtained does not include any research work (for example, the University master's degree in Teacher Training for Compulsory Secondary Education and Upper Secondary Education, and the professional master’s degrees), the Academic Committee will ask for bridging courses to be completed in the form of introduction to research courses (research methodology), which add up a minimum of 3 ECTS credits if they are master's courses, or 30 hours if they are courses offered by the School of Doctoral Studies or the Josep Pallach Institute of Education Sciences.
If the candidate is admitted, the academic committee agrees to the line of research chosen and assigns a thesis tutor at the UdG. The decision will be communicated via the School of Doctoral Studies.
To make this admission effective, training researchers must complete the corresponding enrolment procedure.
