• You will be able to print and save your pre-registration form when you do the pre-registration.

• You will be sent an e-mail with instructions to upload your access documentation through the document manager . Please, be aware that August is considered to be a non-working month, therefore, the documentation uploaded to the document manager will be reviewed in September (neither the admissions nor the email will be answered until September).

• Regulation

Here you can see the academic regulations related to the doctoral studies:

Academic Regulations and doctoral registration for the 2022-2023 academic year (in Catalan/Spanish)

• Documentation required

If you wish to take part in a URV doctoral programme you must submit the following documentation:

• ​Spanish identity card, passport or Foreigners’ Identity Number (NIE), if it is the first time you have studied at the URV.

• Research line proposal, Model 0, which must contain one research line of the doctoral programme. Check the research lines on the website of each programme.

• Curriculum vitae

• Access qualification: Consult access profile  

On the other hand, for the academic committee to resolve the admission, the candidates should submit the documentation required in the additional criteria for selection and admission to the doctoral programme. Consult the section "admission criteria" of each doctoral programme to find out the specific criteria. In addition to these specific criteria, it is strongly recommended to submit a Support letter from the potential thesis supervisor (in the case of the programme Chemical Science and Technology, use this Support Letter -CiTQ  model).

It is essential that the candidates present this documentation so that, in the first place, it is verified if the previous degree allows access to doctorate studies. If it allows access, it will be the academic committee that decides the admission, which is conditional on compliance with both the general access requirements and the additional selection and admission criteria of each doctoral programme.

The letter of admission for the visa can be downloaded from the document manager after the academic committee has approved the admission, in case of accessing a doctorate with a foreign degree.
