Access requirements
In order to access an official doctoral degree students must hold a Spanish official Bachelor's degree, or equivalent, and University Master's degree, or equivalent, provided they have passed at least 300 ECTS credits counting both of them.
Specific criteria of the programme
The Academic Commission will examine the applications and decide on admissions taking the following aspects into account:
- Similarity of the area of the degree studied by the applicant regarding the area the doctoral thesis will focus on (70 %)
- Work experience (10 %): Experience in an area interesting for the thesis development.
- Other merits (20 %): Other research merits such as publications in scientific journals, presentations in national and international congresses, participation in research seminars, etc, as well as any other ascertainable merit that the Academic Commission may deem appropriate.
In all cases, admission is subject to the fact that the proposed research line may be assumed by any of the programme doctors. This requirement will be assessed by the Commission to.
Recommended admission profile:
Candidates with a background training in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Bioengineering or Renewable energies, and subsequent specialisation in any of the master’s degrees taught at UPNA, or similar master’s degrees studied at other institutions and universities, provided they are official and deal with topics linked to the training in the abovementioned fields.
Candidates deemed to count on scientific technological training with proven and enough previous skills and knowledge which allow them to carry out the thesis project in a satisfactory manner.
Additional profiles which may be considered similar are defined - they will require training complements.
Students from other similar scientific or technological master’s or bachelor's degrees with no proven training in renewable energies, communication technologies or bioengineering may access, though they must formalise the following training complements:
- Up to 15 credits in specific subjects related to their research plan.
- Check the theses defended within the Doctoral degree in Communication, Bioengineering and Renewable Energies Technologies
- Access UPNA’s institutional archive
- Check scientific contributions derived from the thesis.
